One of my favorite songs by Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs. [Intro] G D C G [Verse]

G
Now I got a gal that's sweet to me,

But she just ain't what she used to be

        C                                   G
Just a little high headed; That's plain to see.

                       D       C                      G
Don't get above your raisin' Stay down to earth with me.

[Banjo Solo] G C G D C G [Verse]

G
Now looky here gal don't you high head me

For I ain't forgot how you used to be

          C                                     G
When you didn't have nothin' That was plain to see.

            D                  C                      G
Don't get above your raisin' Stay down to earth with me.

[Fiddle Solo] G C G D C G [Verse]

G
You need not hold your head so high

Every time you pass me by

          C
For that don't mean nothin To me you see.

            D                  C                      G
Don't get above your raisin' Stay down to earth with me.

[Bass Solo] G C G D G [Verse]

G
Now looky here gal don't you high head me

For I ain't forgot how you used to be

          C                                     G
When you didn't have nothin' That was plain to see.

            D                  C                      G

[Acoustic Guitar Solo] G C G D G [Mandolin Solo] G C G D C G

G
Now looky here gal you'd better be yourself

And leave that other stuff on the shelf

                  C                     G
You're a country baby That's plain to see

            D                  C                      G
Don't get above your raisin' Stay down to earth with me
