Highway 59

Song title: "Highway 59"

Artist/Band: Calobo

Album: "Runnin' in the River"

Songwriters: David Andrews and Caleb Klauder

Brought to you by: Mike Schweisthal (mschweis@u.washington.edu)

Notes: These lyrics and chords are my best guess/interpretation of how to

play the song. The small bit of tab is sort of a lead riff that is played

during the verses under the 'A' and 'D' progression. Listen to the CD to

get it right. A '|' denotes a measure break when I'm just putting chords

over lyrics. A '/' denotes a slide from the first note to the second note

when I'm writing tablature.

INTRO: riff 1 with these chords underneath it:

 

Running on down the highway

Highway 59

Gonna find it my way

It's gonna take all my time

CHORUS: Highway 59 take me away

Take me for a ride into your soul

Highway 59 take me away

Take me for a ride into your soul

Take me for a ride into your soul...

INSTRUMENTAL: (back to riff 1 and verse chords)

Running down the highway, see my sunshine shining in

If you're gonna do my way, I know you'll find a sin

I don't know what's right or wrong, but I'm doing just fine

If I keep on running strong on highway 59

INSTRUMENTAL: | G | D | A | A | G | D | A | A |
