Biography:
Gillian Howard Welch (born October 2, 1967) is an American singer-songwriter. She performs with her musical partner, guitarist David Rawlings. Their sparse and dark musical style, which combines elements of Appalachian music, bluegrass, country and Americana, is described by The New Yorker as "at once innovative and obliquely reminiscent of past rural forms."
Welch and Rawlings have collaborated on seven critically acclaimed albums, five released under her name, and two released under the name Dave Rawlings Machine.

Standard Tuning with a Capo on 4th Fret
[Chorus] (x2)
Em7 G C
Oh, I dream a highway back to you love
Em7 G C
A winding ribbon with a band of gold
Em7 G C
A silver vision come and rest my soul
Em7 G C
I dream a highway back to you.
[Verse]
John he's kicking out the footlights
The Grand Ole Opry's got a brand new band
Lord, let me die with a hammer in my hand
I dream a highway back to you.
I think I'll move down into Memphis
And thank the hatchet man who forked my tongue
I lie and wait until the wagons come
And dream a highway back to you.
The getaway kicking up cinders
An empty wagon full of rattling bones
Moon in the mirror on a three-hour jones
I dream a highway back to you.
[Chorus]
Em7 G C
Oh, I dream a highway back to you love
Em7 G C
A winding ribbon with a band of gold
Em7 G C
A silver vision come and rest my soul
Em7 G C
I dream a highway back to you.
[Verse]
Which lover are you, Jack of Diamonds?
Now you be Emmylou and I'll be Gram
I send a letter, don't know who I am
I dream a highway back to you.
I'm an indisguisable shade of twilight
Any second now I'm gonna turn myself on
In the blue display of the cool cathode ray
I dream a highway back to you.
I wish you knew me, Jack of Diamonds
Fire-riding, wheeling when I lead 'em up
Drank whisky with my water, sugar in my tea
My sails in rags with the staggers and the jags
I dream a highway back to you.
[Chorus]
Em7 G C
Oh, I dream a highway back to you love
Em7 G C
A winding ribbon with a band of gold
Em7 G C
A silver vision come and rest my soul
Em7 G C
I dream a highway back to you.
[Verse]
Now give me some of what you're having
I'll take you as a viper into my head
A knife into my bed, arsenic when I'm fed
I dream a highway back to you.
Hang overhead from all directions
Radiation from the porcelain light
Blind and blistered by the morning white
I dream a highway back to you.
Sunday morning at the diner
Hollywood trembles on the verge of tears
I watched the waitress for a thousand years
Saw a wheel within a wheel, heard a call within a call
I dreamed a highway back to you.
[Chorus]
Em7 G C
Oh, I dream a highway back to you love
Em7 G C
A winding ribbon with a band of gold
Em7 G C
A silver vision come and rest my soul
Em7 G C
I dream a highway back to you.
[Verse]
Step into the light, poor Lazarus
Don't lie alone behind the window shade
Let me see the mark death made
I dream a highway back to you.
I dream a highway back to you.
What will sustain us through the winter?
Where did last years lessons go?
Walk me out into the rain and snow
I dream a highway back to you.
[Chorus]
Em7 G C
Oh, I dream a highway back to you love
Em7 G C
A winding ribbon with a band of gold
Em7 G C
A silver vision come and rest my soul
Em7 G C
I dream a highway back to you.
