In this verse there is hardly any lead guitar at all. For most of the verse the only lead guitar to be heard is this:
B|-10
G|-11
So you can improvise a lead using ideas from the licks in this tab. At the end of the verse there is a bit of lead:
e|------------------7/9----------

G|----------------9-----9-9-9—-9-

That’s pretty much it. There’s no need for me to tab out the last two verses, since you can make up / improvise your own lead using the many blues licks scattered throughout this tab. The outro is similar to the intro, but with minor variations.
Key to the tablature:
h = hammer-on
p = pull-off
x = mute string with fretting hand and play it
b = bend to next note to pitch of next note
r = release bent note to pitch of next note
/ or \ = slide to next note
Lyrics:
I got the key
To the highway
Be allowed that I do go
Gonna leave here runnin’
Walkin’s most too slow
I’m goin’ back
To the border
Baby where I’m better known
Because you haven’t done nothin’ baby
But drive a good man from home
When the moon
Beats on the mountain
Well then I’ll be on my way
I’m gonna roam the highway
Until the break of day
Oh give me one
More kiss darlin’
Just before I go
‘Cos when I leave this time, little girl
I won’t be back no more
I got the key (I got the key)
To the highway (To the highway)
Be allowed that I do go (I gotta go I gotta go)
I’m gonna leave here runnin’ (Mmm-hmmm)
Walkin’ is most too slow.
