PJ Harvey – Highway 61 Revisited (Guitar)

A
Well 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 say, you do what you wanna, but

    D5                   C5                  Bb5 A5
The next time you see me coming you'd better run

G5
Abe said, where do you want this killing done?

A5
God said, out on that highway sixty-one

     A
Well Georgia Sam he had bloody nose

A
Welfare department would give him no clothes

D
He asked poor Howard, where can I go?

A
Howard said, there's only one place I know

       D5         C5               Bb5  A5
Sounds great man, tell me, I gotta run

G5
Howard just pointed with his gun

          A
And said, that way, down on sixty-one

     A
Well Mack the finger, said Louie the King

     A
I've got forty red white and blue shoestrings

      D
And a thousand telephone that don't ring

A
You know I can't get rid of these things

    D5                        C5            Bb5 A5
And he said, now let me think for a minute son

         G5
He said, yes that can be easily done

     A5
Just take them down on that sixty-one

     A        A
That highway, highway

A        A
Highway, highway

A
Highway

A
Now the fifth daughter on the twelfth night

A
Told first father that things weren't right

A
My complexion, she said, is much too white

A
He said, come here and stare up into the light

         D5
He said, mm you're right

       C5                               Bb5 A5
Let me tell the second mother it's been done

        G5
But the second mother with the seventh son

          A5
They were out on that highway sixty-one

A
Now the roving gambler he was very bored

A
Trying to create a next world war

       D
And he found a promoter fell off the floor

          A
And said, I never engaged in this kind of thing before

    D5             C5                 Bb  A
But yep I think it can be easily done highway

     G5
Just put some bleachers there out in the sun

    A5
And have it out on that sixty-one
