Dr. Feelgood – Highway 61 (Guitar)

A
God said to Abraham 'Kill me a son'

A
Abe said 'Man, you must be putting me on'

A
God said 'No' - Abe said 'What?'

A
God said 'You can do what you want Abe

D                                      A
Next time you see me coming you better run'

E
Abe said 'Where'd you want this killing done?'

A
God said 'Out on Highway 61'

A
Georgia Sam he had a bloody nose

A
The Welfare Department they wouldn't give him no clothes

A
He asked Poor Howard 'Where can I go?'

A
Howard says 'There's only one place I know'

D                                    A
Sam said 'Tell me quick man I got to run'

E
Oh, Howard he just pointed with his gun

         A
He said 'That way down Highway 61'

A
Mack the Finger said to Louis the King

A
'I got forty red-white-blue shoe strings

A
And a thousand telephones that don't ring

A
Do you know where I can get rid of these things?'

D                                              A
Louis the King said 'Let me think for a minute son'

             E
And he said 'Yes, I think it can be easily done -

          A
Just take everything down to Highway 61'

A
Well the 5th daughter on the 12th night

A
Told the 1st father that things weren't right

A
My complexion she says is much too white

A
He says 'Come here step into the light'

         D
He says 'Mam you're right - let me tell

                    A
The 2nd mother this has been love'

        E
But the 2nd mother was with the 7th son

              A
And they were both out on Highway 61

A
Now the roving gambler he was very bored

A
Trying to create a next World War

A
He found a promoter who nearly fell on the floor

A
He said 'I never engaged in this kind of thing before'

    D                                  A
But yes, I think it can be very easily done

E
Well just put some bleachers out in the sun

    A
And head it out on Highway 61
