Live in Toronto 6th May 2001

Note: I have a strong feeling that both acoustic & electric guitars is
not Standard Tuning or maybe only the acoustic guitar. But anyway
if you think it is other tunings then do so & change the chords
notation given below. So that it will sound almost the same.
Standard Tuning: EADGbe
Chords Used:
e| 0 1 3 0
b| 1 1 3 2
G| 0 2 0 0
D| 2 3 0 2
A| 3 3 2 0
E| 0 1 3 X
Note: Verse 1 & Verse 2 don't really have lots of guitaring but anyway
here is the chords.
Verse 1:
I'm a rollin' stone all alone and lost,
For a life of sin I have paid the cost,
As I walk by all the people say,
Just another guy on the lost highway,
Verse 2:
Just a deck of cards and a jug of wine,
And a woman's life makes a life like mine,
On the day we met, I went astray,
I started going down that lost highway,
Note: You just got to listen to the song to understand this part. This
is a acoustic part done by Chris while Jonny is on the electric
in the 3rd & 4th verse. For those who don't know, p is pull off
or drag to another barr in 1 strike, h is hammer or hit your
finger on 1 barr with 1 finger on the lower barr in 1 strike, r
is release your finger on a higher barr with another finger on
the lower barr in 1 strike. So below you'll see that I've mixed
in both plucking & struming into a tab chart.

Note: Here the music gets hotter. So just play it on all the way.
Verse 3:
I was just a lad, only twenty two,
Neither good nor bad, just a kid like you,
On the day we met, it's too late to pray,
I started going down that lost highway,
Verse 4:
Now boys don't start to ramblin' round,
On this road of sin are you sorrow bound,
Take my advice or you'll curse the day,
You started rollin' down that lost highway,
You started goin' down that lost highway,
Goin' down that lost highway,
Goin' down that lost highway,
Note: I guess everything is not lost here, maybe for the instrumental
part I might miss some stuff there cause I can't trace every
single thing that Chris do. So enjoy the song!
