Bob Dylan (born Robert Allen Zimmerman on May 24, 1941 in Duluth, Minnesota, United States) is an American musician, poet and artist whose position in popular culture is unique.
Dylan started his musical odyssey in 1959 when he began playing in Dinkytown, Minneapolis while attending the University of Minnesota. Shortly after starting to play he changed his stage name to Bob Dylan, after being influenced by the poetry of Dylan Thomas before legally changing his name in 1962.

The main riff can be played throughout, but you can also play it at the intro and use the chords on the verses (though I recommend the riff on the E lines). Also at the end of the riff you can repeat: -0-5- instead of: -0-3- if it sounds better. Just play around with it. -0-5- -0-3- -0-5- -0-3-
E Highway 51 runs right by my baby's door AE Highway 51 runs right by my baby's door B If I don't get the girl I'm loving E Won't go down to Highway 51 no more.
Well, I know that highway like I know my hand Yes, I know that highway like I know the back of my hand Running from up Wisconsin way down to no man's land.
Well, if I should die before my time should come And if I should die before my time should come Won't you bury my body out on the Highway 51.
Highway 51 runs right by my baby's door I said, Highway 51 runs right by my baby's door If I don't get the girl I'm loving Won't go down to Highway 51 no more.
The end of the verse riff is improvised on this theme:
