Dancing On The Highway

Live London 3-3-00
I put two asterisks after the chord name, to mark the barred
chords. Or you dont have to play any barred chords, and just
play the normal versions. I think its really up to personal
preference with this song, but you can definately hear him
slide up to that barred Am.

here if you want me
**
listening so close from far away
memorizing what you told me
**
like a foreigner on holiday
smiling at confusion
**
talking to the speaker that i see
dancing on the highway
**
the broken line that leads from you to me
well i'll be at my station all night
so come on by, if you feel like
still here if you want me
**
look at what i can do with empty time
lost love and words that haunt me
**
isnt this flat wrong, to sound sublime
one strike in the mural
**
planting it to place like someones kiss
a dead calm on the tranquil
**
sea between you and me, well thats all that is
but im here if you want me my love
dancing on the highway
=====================================================
[Break into the solo!, its mostly just a powerful
[downstroke, and using your ring/middle fingers to
[kinda pluck/strum the B and G strings of various
[degrees and volumes. You kinda have to screw around
[and listen to the song, but here are the notes with
[the hammer-on he does. ! = make this string sound
[in the strumming! Listen to the song for the rhythm.
