Highway Tabs & Lyrics by Ingrid Michaelson

Highway

guitar tabs lyrics

Ingrid Michaelson

This song is a really easy fun one by Ingrid. I was surprised to see no one
had posted it yet. I'm pretty positive it's right except for the E in
the bridge part.

Standard Tuning
Capo on 3 if you want to play along with the song

Chords:
A
E

This song is basically all A and variations on A (relative to the capo that is).

The strumming pattern is something like this, but listen to the song it's pretty straight forward

On the highway, across the atlantic...

Listen for how many times you play through everything

Below are the lyrics

-----------------------HIGHWAY----------------------

On a highway along the atlantic
I'm rifling through these last 17 years.
The radio waxes romantic.
It's lullabies fill our eyes with tears.

We don't say a word.
There's nothing to say that hasn't been heard.
And how you've grown my little bird.
I'm regretting letting you fly.

6 pounds and 7 ounces. A ball of bones and flesh and tears were you.
Now your hands, your tiny pink hands, grew larger than my hands ever grew.

We don't say a word.
There's nothing to say that hasn't been heard.
And how you've grown my little bird.
I'm regretting letting you fly.
I'm regretting letting you fly.
I'm regretting letting you fly.

On a highway. On a highway.
