Lyrics

Well, an oth er day

an oth er dol (C)lar,

(Em)af ter I’ve sang and (C)hol lered.

Oh, it’s my way of liv ing, and I can’t change a thing.

An oth er town is draw ing near.

Oh, (Em)ba by, I wish you were here.

The on ly way I can see (D)you, dar ling, is in my dreams.

It’s a high way (Am7)song.

You sing it (D)on and on,

on and on.

Well, the (Em)hurt you leave be hind

is the (Em)hurt that’s on your (C)mind.

Oh, and last night sure took its toll on (Em)me.

Well, the (Em)cit y lights fly by (C)me,

as I (Em)lay my bod y in my bed,

oh, and dreams of you dance through my head.

It’s a high way (Am7)song.

You sing it (D)on and on,

on and on.

High way (C)song

is as (D)lone ly

as the road I’m on.

(Em)Ah.

(Em)Ah.

(C)Ah.

Yes, those (Em)big wheels are read y to roll;

we’ve been (Em)flyin’ high and slow.

Lord, and all this mad (D)ness ain’t as cra zy as it (Em7)seems.

Ev ’ry where, they stop and stare.

I’m just a (Em)strang er on this road.

Oh, I stand a lone on ly in my dreams.

High way (Am7)song.

You sing it (D)on and on,

High way (Cmaj7)song

as the road I’m on.

(Em)Well, high way (Am7)song.

You sing it (D)on and on,

on and on.

High way (Cmaj7)song

(Em)Well, high way as the road I’m on,

About “Highway Song

Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "Highway Song"?
Yes — the score is rendered server-side from the publisher MusicXML using Verovio (the same engine RISM and OpenScore use). Standard piano notation, treble + bass staves, real chord symbols, key signature G. Print-quality and identical to what you'd see in a printed piano book.
What key is "Highway Song" by Blackfoot played in?
Highway Song is arranged in the key of G on Super Simple Piano. You can transpose to any other key live in the player.
What's the tempo (BPM) of "Highway Song"?
The arrangement plays at 136 BPM. Use the speed control (10-200%) to practice slower or play faster.
Is "Highway Song" easy to play on piano?
This is a medium-difficulty arrangement. Most players can learn it within a few practice sessions using the speed control.
Can I download sheet music for "Highway Song"?
Yes — registered users can download PDF sheet music, plus MIDI and MusicXML files for use in other notation software.
Who composed "Highway Song"?

What chords are used in "Highway Song"?
This arrangement uses 13 chords: Am, Am7, Am9, B7, Bm, Bm7, C, Cmaj7, +5 more.
Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
Yes — "Highway Song" is rendered at engraver quality (the Verovio engine, the same toolkit RISM and OpenScore editions use) from the original publisher MusicXML. You get standard piano notation: treble + bass clefs, key signature G, time signature, beams, dynamics — everything a printed sheet music book would have. Great for piano students learning to read music properly.
What's the difference between Sheet Music and the other modes here?
Sheet Music is the "classic" view — the one your piano teacher uses. Other modes (Beginner, Fall Down, Simple Sheet, Lead Sheet) trade real notation for color-coded notes and falling shapes to help absolute beginners. Use Sheet Music once you're ready to read both hands at once from real notation.
Can I practice from this view at my own pace?
Yes — slow the tempo from 136 BPM down (or up) without changing the pitch. The score scrolls in time and the currently playing note is highlighted, so you can drill a tough bar at half speed and bump it up once it feels comfortable.
Why can I click a note in the score?
Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
