I've wondered is there an actual name for the chords used to play songs like "Highway Song" by Blackfoot and "Green grass and High Tides" by the Outlaws? It seems that it sounds like the guitar goes one way and comes back again? Not sure if I'm making any sense? Not sure how to explain it.

i'm not familiar with the songs you mentioned, but every chord has a name. the defenition of a chord is 3 or more seperate notes being played at once. no matter how many notes there are, there is a name for that chord (no matter how long the name may be). in playing guitar, however, sometimes the guitarist will only play 2 notes at once (example, "brown eyed girl" by van morrison) and this is not a chord, but is referred to as a double stop or a biad (a triad being a basic chord, 1 3 5) double stops don't have names, but are called by what notes are being played in them.

I'm not familiar with those, but sometimes they will have that info on their websites. When I get into trouble like that, I usually noodle around on the guitar to find the most obvious root note, and try to come up with a chord that works. Maybe not exactly the chord, but close enough till I can find the real ones used. Try also, http://www.looknohands.com/chordhouse/guitar/index_db.html It's an awesome resource for guitarists.
