INTRO D G A D
D
He was standing by the highway
with a sign that just said mother
Dwhen he heard a driver coming
E Aabout a half a mile away
D
so he held the sign up higher
so no decent soul could miss it
Dit was ten degrees or colder
A Ddown by boulder dam that day
D
he was raised up in milwaukee
though he never was that famous
Dhe was just a road musician
E Ato the taverns he would go
D
singing songs about the rambling
the loving girls and gambling
Dhow the world fell on his shoulder
A Dback in boulder I don't know
D
it was out in arizona
and he heard the lady listening
Dto each word that he was singing
E Ato each line that he would write
D
so he sat down by her table
and they talked about the weather
D98.6 and rising
A Ddown by boulder dam that night
G D
and she told him she would take him
for a ride in the morning sun
G Aback in boulder he had told her
A C GI don't know when I've had a better friend
D
now he's traded off his martin
but his troubles are not over
Dhis feet are almost frozen
E Aand the sun is sinking low
D
won't you listen to me brother
if you loved your mother
Dplease pull off on the shoulder
A Dif you're going milwaukee way
D
it's ten degrees and getting colder
down by boulder dam today
