In The Gravel Yard

Blue Highway

INTRO: Full Chorus

<CHORUS>

G C G

In the gravel yard with a number for my name

D G

Making little rocks out of big rocks all day

G C G

Though the work is mighty hard in the gravel yard

D G

I’ll never be a free man so they say

G C G

1. Lord, hear my plea, listen now to me

2. In the drivin’ rain, with a ball and chain

D G

1. I killed a man that I caught with my wife

2. My hammer rings an old mournful sound

G C G

1. You’d probably done the same, so why am I to blame

2. I sings a little song for the ones who done me wrong

D G

1. Sentenced to the rest of my life

2. That lie beneath the cold, cold ground
