[Verse 1]
F#m
They made up their minds
                 Bm
And they started packing
     C#                                 F#m
They left before the sun came up that day
   F#                        Bm
An exit to eternal summer slacking
    F#m                       C#
But where were they going without ever
            F#m
Knowing the way?
 
[Verse 2]
F#m
They drank up the wine
 Bm
And they got to talking
     C#          F#m
They now had more important things to say
       F#        Bm
(And) When the car broke down they started walking
 F#m   C#
Where were they going without even
            F#m
Knowing the way?      E
 
[Chorus]
E                  A
Anyone can see the road that they walk on
    E
Is paved with gold
F#m
It's always summer
         C#
They'll never get cold
        D
They'll never get hungry
        A                  E
They'll never get old and grey
                  A                  E
You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere
      F#m
They won't make it home
           C#
But they really don't care
     D
They wanted the highway
        A               E       C#
They're happier there today
 
[Verse 3]
F#m
Their children woke up
    Bm
And they couldn't find them
 C#   F#m
They'd left before the sun came up that day
      F#         Bm
They just drove off and left it all behind 'em
      F#m        C#
But where were they going without ever
    F#m
Knowing the way?       E
 
[Chorus]
E                  A
Anyone can see the road that they walk on
    E
Is paved with gold
F#m
It's always summer
         C#
They'll never get cold
        D
They'll never get hungry
        A                  E
They'll never get old and grey
                  A                  E
You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere
      F#m
They won't make it home
           C#
But they really don't care
     D
They wanted the highway
        A               E       C#
They're happier there today
