Verse: Gbm They made up their minds Bm And they started packing Db7 Gbm They left before the sun came up that day Gb7 Bm An exit to eternal summer slacking Gbm Db7 But where were they going without ever Gbm Knowing the way? Gbm They drank up the wine Bm And they got to talking Db7 Gbm They now had more important things to say Gb7 Bm When the car broke down they started walking Gbm Db7 Where were they going without ever Gbm E Knowing the way? Chorus: E A Anyone can see the road that they walk on E Is paved with gold Gbm It's always summer Db7 They'll never get cold D They'll never get hungry A E They'll never get old and grey A E You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere Gbm They won't make it home Db7 But they really don't care D They wanted the highway A E Db7 They're happier there today Verse: Gbm Their children woke up Bm And they couldn't find them Db7 Gbm They left before the sun came up that day Gb7 Bm They just drove off and left it all behind'em Gbm Db7 But where were they going without ever Gbm E Knowing the way? Chorus: E A Anyone can see the road that they walk on E Is paved with gold Gbm It's always summer Db7 They'll never get cold D They'll never get hungry A E They'll never get old and grey A E You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere Gbm They won't make it home Db7 But they really don't care D They wanted the highway A E Db7 They're happier there today Solo 1: Gbm Bm Gbm Db7 Gbm Chorus: E A Anyone can see the road that they walk on E Is paved with gold Gbm It's always summer Db7 They'll never get cold D They'll never get hungry A E They'll never get old and grey A E You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere Gbm They won't make it home Db7 But they really don't care D They wanted the highway A E Db7 They're happier there today Solo 2: Gbm Bm Gbm Db7 This arrangement is its contributor’s own interpretation, shared for private study, education and non-commercial use.

How to play The Way on ukulele
The strumming pattern that fits is the driving 4/4: d – d – d u d u. The groove sits around 122 bpm, a medium pace. You are playing it in Gb minor. The fretting hand earns its keep in this one: I have the chords at the proficient level. Prefer easier shapes? Transpose the song down 2 half-steps, then a capo on fret 2 brings you back to the key on this page. Drive the strum hard through the verse and follow the descending chord run.
