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.
