Sorrow Is A Highway Tab

by Yonder Mountain String Band


Key E minor

This is a pretty number off Town by Town. It's fairly simple. I am going by the 
album version since I have not heard them play it live.

Intro:
           

Verse 1:

My heart is like the white line
                                      
Divided, separated in these feelings over you

My mind, it is also like the white line      when without a bassist,
                                        walk down  /F# 
Endlessly searching, a man without a clue

Chorus:
                                          
You've got me thinking there's a fire down below
                                                  
'Round and 'round in circles is as far as I can go
                                   
Same old repetition, feeling up and down again
              *
Sorrow is a highway
                
It never seems to end

Jam 1: verse chords

Verse 2:

Another day, it is ending
                  
I feel my feet upon the ground
                 
And know they walk alone

What do I care now though if another day is ending
                                                
The days will end until my name is carved in stone alone

[ Chorus ]

Verse 3:

The time has come for leavin'
                                            
The time to fall away like the pedals leave the rose

But what good does this leavin'
                         
I can still hear my heart breakin'
                 
the sound it never goes

[ Chorus ]

                                      
The same old repetition feelin' up and down again
             *
Sorry is a highway
                
It never seems to end

Outro: Intro chords

*The riff played runs down G Aeolian starting at A on the 3rd string after the D 
chord. I just mess around with it, Adam is too fast.
