Verse: 1 
Bm 
  Men walkin' 'long the railroad tracks 
D                       Bm       A 
Goin' someplace there's no goin' back 
A 
Highway patrol choppers comin' up over the ridge 
    Bm                  Em       Bm 
Hot soup on a campfire under the bridge 

Bm 
Shelter line stretchin' 'round the corner 
D                        A 
Welcome to the new world order 
A 
Families sleepin' in their cars in the Southwest 
   Bm             A        Bm 
No home no job no peace no rest 


    G 
The highway is alive tonight 
           D      A         Bm 
Where it's headed everybody knows 
A 
Sittin' down here in the campfire light 
Bm             A            Bm 
Awaitin' on the ghost of Tom Joad 


Verse: 2 
D                       G          D 
Lots of people out here east, they say 
G                           A 
Leavin' home most ev'ry day 

Beatin' the hot old dusty way 
G                 D 
To the California line 

D                            G 
'Cross the desert sands they roll 
                                  A 
getting out of that old dust bowl 
                                             G 
And they think they're going to a sugar bowl 
       D 
Here's what they find 
    A                     E      A 
The police at the port of entry say 

"You're number fourteen thousand for today." 

 
          D 
Oh if you ain't got the do-re-mi, boys 
                           A 
If you ain't got the do-re-mi 

Well you'd better go back to beautiful Texas 
                         G      D 
Oklahoma, Kansas, Georgia, Tennessee 


Verse: 3 
D 
California is a garden of Eden 
                              G 
It's a paradise to live in or see 
    D             A 
But believe it or not 
                     G 
You won't find it so hot 
                     A  Bm D   Bm 
If you ain't got the do-re-mi 

Verse: 4 
Bm 
Now Tom said "Mom, wherever there's a cop beatin' a guy 
           D              Bm   A 
Wherever a hungry newborn baby cries 
A 
Where there's a fight against the blood and hatred in the air 
Bm              A       Bm 
Look for me Tom I'll be there 
Bm 
Wherever there's somebody fightin' for a place to stand 
   D               Bm      A 
Or decent job or a helpin' hand 
A 
Wherever somebody's strugglin' to be free 
Bm             A          Bm 
Look for me Ma you'll see me." 

 
    G 
The highway is alive tonight 
           D      A         Bm 
Where it's headed everybody knows 
A 
Sittin' down here in the campfire light 
Bm                      A       Bm 
Waitin' on the ghost of old Tom Joad 

    G 
The highway is alive tonight 
           D      A         Bm 
Where it's headed everybody knows 
A 
Sittin' down here in the campfire light 
Bm                      A       Bm 
Waitin' on the ghost of old Tom Joad
