**INTRO: [PART V-1 2x]
**VERSE 1: [PART V-1 3x; 4th x, go to V-2{see E5 below}]
Livin' easy, livin' free--
Season ticket on a one-way ride--
Askin' nothin'--leave me be--
Takin' everything in my stride--
Don't need reason, don't need rhyme--
Ain't nothing that I'd rather do--
Goin' down--party time--
My friends are gonna {E5} be there, too-- [->PART C-1/Chorus 1]

**CHORUS 1: [PART C-1]
I'm on a Highway to Hell-- On the Highway to Hell--
Highway to Hell-- On the Highway to Hell--
**VERSE 2: [a` la Verse 1]
No stop signs-- speed limit--
Nobody's gonna slow me down--
Like a wheel, gonna spin it--
Nobody's gonna mess me around--
Hey, Satan--payin' my dues--
Playin' in a rockin' band--
Hey, mama, look at me--
I'm on my way to the {E5} Promised Land-- [oh, poor Bon Scott!...]
**CHORUS 2: [PART C-1-->C-2]

**LEAD TACIT [played over PART C-1]
(I woulda trancribed Angus's lead, but I thought, hell, YOU can do just
as well, jammin' on the A pentatonic minor scale! . . . Of course, a
Gibson SG would help!)
