D
He was standing by the highway
Dwith a sign that just said mother
when he heard a driver coming
E Aabout a half a mile away
D
so he held the sign up higher
Dso no decent soul could miss it
it was ten degrees or colder
A Ddown by boulder dam that day
D
he was raised up in milwaukee
Dthough he never was that famous
he was just a road musician
E Ato the taverns he would go
D
singing songs about the rambling
Dthe loving girls and gambling
how the world fell on his shoulder
A Dback in boulder I don't know
D
it was out in arizona
Dand he heard the lady listening
to each word that he was singing
E Ato each line that he would write
D
so he sat down by her table
Dand they talked about the weather
98.6 and rising
A Ddown by boulder dam that night
G D
and she told him she would take him
A C Gfor a ride in the morning sun
back 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
Dbut his troubles are not over
his feet are almost frozen
E Aand the sun is sinking low
D
won't you listen to me brother
Dif you loved your mother
please pull off on the shoulder
A Dif you're going milwaukee way
D
it's ten degrees and getting colder
A Ddown by boulder dam today
