*** G C G I once had a darling, was kind, true and sweet. G D Life was so bright and gay, everything to please. G C G I fell for another, who led my life astray. G D G And now I live in sorrow, 'till my dying day Chorus: G C G Down a Highway of Sorrow, I'm traveling along. G D I've lost all my true friends, I've lost a happy home. G C G I'm headed for destruction, I'm on the wrong track. G D G Down a Highway of Sorrow, there's no turning back. G C G I went back to my darling, and I got down on my knees. G D I begged here with tears and eyes, to give my poor heart ease. G C G But she was hurt so deeply, she could not forgive. G D G Now I live in sorrow, as long as I live ***Chorus
