C                     F          C
Gulf Coast Highway he worked the rails
                                               F
He worked the rice fields with their cool dark wells
              Am              G7          C
He worked the oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico
         F               C                 G7                C
The only thing he's ever known is this old house here by the road

            Am                 G7                     C
And when he dies he says he'll catch some blackbird's wing
        F           C                G7                C
He will fly away to heaven come some sweet blue bonnet spring

                               F          C
She walked through spring time when I was home
                                    F
The days were sweet our nights were warm
            Am                   G7               C
The seasons change the jobs will come the flowers fade
             F             C              G7           C
And this old house felt so alone when the work took me away

             Am                   G7                     C
And when she dies she says she'll catch some blackbird's wing
         F           C                G7                C
She will fly away to heaven come some sweet blue bonnet spring

                   F        C
Highway ninety the jobs are gone
                              F
We tend our garden we set the sun
            Am            G7                 C
This is the only place on earth blue bonnets grow
       F                  C              G7                C
Once a year they come and go at this old house here by the road

            Am               G7                     C
And when we die we say we'll catch some blackbird's wing
      F           C                G7                C
We’ll fly away to heaven come some sweet blue bonnet spring

            Am               G7                     C
Yes when we die we say we'll catch some blackbird's wing
      F           C                G7                C
We’ll fly away to heaven come some sweet blue bonnet spring
