This is from memory so the original may be in a different key.

They [am] made up their minds and they started [dm] packing
They [am/E]left before the [E]sun came up that [am]day
An [A7] exit to eternal [dm]slacking
But [am] where were they going with[E]out ever knowing the[am]way? [G]

They [am] drank up the wine and they got to [dm]talking
They [am]now had more im[E]portant things to [am]say
And [A7]when the car broke down they started [dm]walking
But [am] where were they going with[E]out ever knowing the[am]way? [G]

Chorus:
Anyone could see the [C]road that they walk on is [G]paved in gold
And [am]it's always summer, they'll [E]never get cold
They'll [F]never get hungry. They'll [C]never get old and gray.[G]

You can see their [C]shadows wandering [G]off somewhere
They [am]won't get make it home, but they [E]really don't care
They [F]wanted the highway. They're [C]happy there to[G]day, today  
{eoc}

The [am]children woke up and they couldn't [dm]find them
They [am/E]left before the [E]sun came up that [am]day
They [A7]just drove off and left it all be[dm]hind them
But [am] where were they going with[E]out ever knowing the[am]way? [G]

Chorus 2 x's
