Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em]

[Verse 1]
[Em]Riding down the highway
with Cowboy Joe
I met Leonardo DiCaprio
Leo, he's trying to get away from
The unwanted advances of Em[C]inem
Em's wearing drawstrings and
lisping along
Saying, [Em]"Please put me
into your highway song"

[Verse 2]
I say, [C]"Hey, who's going my [G]way
On that [B]Great Alaska [Em]Highway?"

[Verse 3]
[Em]Well, I would never be so dumb
To say they stole an election
They bought the damn thing
fair and square
Emperor's in his underwear
[C]Old King Cole's a merry old troll
[Em]Surgeon General smokes Marlboro

[Verse 4]
I say, [C]"Hey, who's going my [G]way
On [B]that Great Alaska [Em]Highway?"

[Verse 5]
I say, [C]"Hey, who's going my [G]way
On that [B]Great Alaska
[Em]Highway?"

[Verse 6]
[Em]Commandment 3 says do not kill
Amendment 2 says blood will spill
God sits in his rocking chair
Two flat tires and one good spare
[C]Britney Spears joins Cowboy Joe
With a [Em]hey and a ho and a do-si-do

[Verse 7]
I I I say, [C]"Hey, who's going my [G]way
On that [B]Great Alaska [Em]Highway?"

[Verse 8]
[C]West Palm Beach and Cheech
and Rae Dawn [Em]Chong
Can't we all just get along?
[C]Anchored down in Kodiak
With [B]a heart attack, ack ack ack ack ack
[C]You oughta know by [B]now,

[Interlude 1]
by Joel
[Em]
[C][Em]

[Verse 9]
[C]West Palm Beach and Cheech
and Rae Dawn [Em]Chong
Can't we all just get along?
[C]Anchored down in Kodiak
With a [B]heart attack, ack ack ack ack ack
[C]You oughta know by [B]now, by Joel

[Verse 10]
While [Em]hanging out with Cowboy Joe
Keith Richards stops to say hello
I play my guitar, he plays along
With song after song after
song after song
[C]Now that I've played with
the likes of him
Ain't [Em]never gonna settle for less, my friend
[G]I say,

[Verse 11]
[C]"Hey, who's going my [G]way
On that [B]Great Alaska [Em]Highway?"

[Verse 12]
I say, [C]"Hey, who's going my [G]way
On that [B]Great...
On that Great..."

[Verse 13]
I [C]say, "Hey, who's going my [G]way
On that [B]Great Alaska [Em]Highway?"

[Verse 14]
I say, [C]"Hey, who's going my [G]way
On that [B]Great Alaska [Em]Highway?"

[Outro 1]
I say!
