Mama Knows The Highway - Hal Ketchum

[Intro]
G    C    G    Em D

Verse 1: 
G               C               G
 Mama knows the  highway by the  songs
         G                             D
When she  hears a good one, she always  sings along
G               C                   G
 She don't ever  worry 'bout what's  gone
          G                     D                      G
She says,  "Good country music... will never steer you  wrong."

Verse 2:  
G                 C                  G
 She talks to the  truckers with her  lights
G                        A                 D
 Maybe just a little bit  more on Saturday  nights
G            C             G
 She knows a  good road to  paradise
           G               D                 G
And that's  just enough to  keep the highway  bright
 
|[Chorus]
|      C                              G
|Yeah,  Mama knows the highway now by  heart
|G        D        Em              D
| She can  see the  rain before it  starts
|G              C          G                   C
| Looking clear  through a  windshield full of  stars
|G                D               G      C    G    Em D
|  Mama knows the  highway now by  heart...        // //

[Instrumental]
G    C    G    Em D

Verse 3:  
G               C          G
 She can tell Wyoming jus'  by the wind
        G                                          D
She can  tell another trucker by the rig that he's  in
G                 C                G
 She knows how to  watch the river  bends
G                    D             G
 She knows where the  real South begins
 
[Chorus]

[Instrumental]
G    C    G                       D
G    C    G               D    G

[Bridge]
C        G        Am             G        D       Em
 She can  gauge a  cafe just by,  looking  at the  sign
A                          C                  D
  Little old places always  share the grand design...
 
|[Chorus]
|      C                              G
|Yeah,  Mama knows the highway now by  heart
|G        D        Em              D
| She can  see the  rain before it  starts
|G              C          G                   C
| Looking clear  through a  windshield full of  stars
|G                D               G      C  
|  Mama knows the  highway now by  heart...  
 
[Outro]
G               D               G       C   
 Mama knows the  highway now by  heart... [G] [Em] [D]
G    C    G    Em D
               G          C     G     
Mama knows the  highway... yeah... [Em] [D]
 
[REPEAT AND FADE]  (or until you want to end on G!)
   G    C    G    Em D
