| D | A | F# | Bm |
| Picking up the | pieces of my | sweet shattered | dream |
| G | D | Asus4 | A |
| I | wonder how the | old folks are to | night | |
| D | A | F# | Bm |
| Her | name was Ann and | I'll be damned if | I recall her | face |
| G | A | D |
| She left me not | knowing what to | do |
| C | G | A | D |
| Carefree | highway, | let me | slip away on | you |
| C | G | A |
| Carefree | highway, | you've seen | better days |
| Bm | A | G | D/F# | Esus4 | E |
| The | morning after | blues from my | head down | to my | shoes | |
| D | C | G | Asus4 | A | D | A |
| Carefree | highway, | let me | slip away, | slip away on | you | |
| D | A | F# | Bm |
| Turning back the | pages to the | times I love | best |
| G | D | Asus4 | A |
| I | wonder if she'll | ever do the | same | |
| D | A | F# | Bm |
| Now the | thing that I call | living is just | being satis | fied |
| G | A | D |
| With | knowing I got | no one left to | blame |
| C | G | A | D |
| Carefree | highway, | I got to | see you my old | flame |
| C | G | A |
| Carefree | highway, | you've seen | better days |
| Bm | A | G | D/F# | Esus4 | E |
| The | morning after | blues from my | head down | to my | shoes | |
| D | C | G | Asus4 | A | D | A |
| Carefree | highway, | let me | slip away, | slip away on | you | |
| D | A | F# | Bm |
| Searching through the | fragments of my | dream shattered | sleep |
| G | D | Asus4 | A |
| I | wonder if the | years have closed her | mind | |
| D | A | F# | Bm |
| Well I | guess it must be | wander lust or | trying to get | free |
| G | A | D |
| From the | good old faithful | feeling we once | knew |
| C | G | A | D |
| Carefree | highway, | let me | slip away on | you |
| C | G | A |
| Carefree | highway, | you've seen | better days |
| Bm | A | G | D/F# | Esus4 | E |
| The | morning after | blues from my | head down | to my | shoes | |
| D | C | G | Asus4 | A | D | A |
| Carefree | highway, | let me | slip away, | slip away on | you | |
| C | G | A | D |
| Carefree | highway, | I got to | see you my old | flame |
| C | G | A |
| Carefree | highway, | you've seen | better days |
| Bm | A | G | D/F# | Esus4 | E |
| The | morning after | blues from my | head down | to my | shoes | |
| D | C | G | Asus4 | A | D |
| Carefree | highway, | let me | slip away, | slip away on | you |
