Eb Ab Eb Bb
It seems like I was there from the start
Eb
A witness to your wild and reckless heart
Ab Eb Bb
You showed me the way but now you’re gone
Bb
Quicker than the trigger of an outlaw’s gun
Living fast and dying young
Eb
A victim of this road you left me on
Ab Eb Bb Eb
White line took my baby
Ab Eb Bb Eb
Led him down that dark highway
Ab Eb Bb Eb
Headlight blind driving crazy
Ab Eb Bb
If my wheels keep turning
Bb Eb
Gonna roll that white line away
Eb Ab Eb Bb
We worked the road as hard as we could drive her
Eb
But now I am the only survivor
Ab Eb Bb
From night to night at every place I play in
Bb
The sweetness of your song remains
I’ll be the keeper of the flame
Eb
Til every soul hears what your heart was saying
Ab Eb Bb Eb
White line took my baby
Ab Eb Bb Eb
Led him down that dark highway
Ab Eb Bb Eb
Headlight blind driving crazy
Ab Eb Bb
If my wheels keep turning
Bb Eb
Gonna roll that white line away
Cm Ab
All the nights you spent alone
Eb Bb
All the love I’d never shown
Cm Ab
All the words I could not say
Eb Bb
Till that white line took you away
Ab Eb Bb Eb F
White line took you away
F Bb F C
I’ll follow this white line down where it’s winding
F
Cause somewhere up ahead your light’s still shining
F Bb F C
The sound of the silver strings will guide me
I’ve stood and watched the bridges burn
I’m past the point of no return
F
Oh how I wish that you were here beside me
Bb F C F
White line took my baby
Bb F C F
Led him down that dark highway
Bb F C F
Headlight blind driving crazy
Bb F C
If my wheels keep turning
C F
Gonna roll that white line away
Bb F C F
White line took my baby
Bb F C F
Led him down that dark highway
Bb F C F
Headlight blind driving crazy
Bb F C
If my wheels keep turning
C F
Gonna roll that white line away
