Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

US highway from north to south

 It's history breathing

Get out from under the gun

 And drive down Highway 61

Hannibal's son saw the Gold Rush

 Saw the Civil War done

Then settled down some

 Out on Highway 61

Chorus

There's no reason to feel downhearted

There's music in the wheels there to be found

Goodnight Irene in the prison walls

Killed man

And lived to sing about it all

 Stella-12 out on Highway 61

The immigrant son left the mining town

Electrified the traditional

 And had it out on Highway 61

REPEAT CHORUS
