Alaska Highway
guitar tabs lyrics
Capo 4
Intro: Em for as long as you like!
Em
While riding down the highway with Cowboy Joe
Em
I met Leonardo DiCaprio
Em
Leo, he's tryin to get away from
Em
The unwanted advances of Eminem
C
Em's wearing drawstrings and lispin' along
Em
Sayin' "please put me into your highway song"
C G
I say hey, who's goin' my way
B7 Em
On that great Alaska Highway
Em
I would never be so dumb
Em
To say they stole an election
Em
They bought the damn thing fair and square
Em
The emperor's in his underwear
C
Old King Cole's a merry old troll
Em
Surgeon General smokes Marlboro
C G
I say hey, who's goin' my way
B7 Em
On that great Alaska Highway
C G
I say hey, who's goin' my way
B7 Em
On that great Alaska Highway
Em
Commandment Three says Do Not Kill
Em
Amendment Two says Blood Will Spill
Em
God sits in his rocking chair
Em
With two flat tires and one good spare
C
Britney Spears joins Cowboy Joe
Em
With a hey and a ho and a do si do
C G
I say hey, who's goin' my way
B7 Em
On that great Alaska Highway
C
West Palm Beach and Cheech and Rae Dawn
Em
Chong, can't we all just get along
C
Anchored down in Kodiak
B7
With a heart attack ak-ak-ak-ak-ak
C B7
You oughta know by now, By Joel
(Note: on the recording, a solo is played over the verse progression and the
above break is then repeated. )
Em
While hanging out with Cowboy Joe
Em
Keith Richards stops to say hello
Em
I play my guitar, he plays along
Em
With song after song after song after song
C
Now that I've played with the likes of him
Em
Ain't never gonna settle for less, my friend
C G
I say hey, who's goin' my way
B7 Em
On that great Alaska Highway
(repeat chorus to end)
