Tombstone Blues is the second track off of Bob Dylan's album Highway 61 Revisited. Musically it is a straightforward blues song, however the lyrics are typical of Dylan's free-associate surreal style of the period, with such lines as "the sun's not yellow, it's chicken".

It was performed by Marcus Carl Franklin and Richie Havens in the movie based on Dylan's life, I'm Not There. The soundtrack version is performed solely by Havens.
