Merle Haggard – Way Back In The Mountains (Guitar)

C             G             C
How far can a man stretch a dollar?                         

C          F
I thought as I counted my pay

                       C
I told myself over and over

                         G
There must be some other way

   C             G         C
No light at the end of the tunnel

                           F
The whole world is falling apart

                           C
And I need this load on my shoulder

              G          C
Like I need a hole in my heart

                   F           C
I'm gonna move way back in the mountains

                         G
Build a cabin nobody can find

          C        F           C
I'm gonna move way back in the mountains

F         C          G        C
I'm gonna leave this old city behind

           G          C
How does a man hold a woman

                               F
When he's standing on unsteady ground?

                             C
She's wantin' things I can't give her;

                              G
Things that make her world go round

    C            G         C
I'm tradin' this microwave oven

                            F
For a cast iron pot-bellied stove

                       C
If all I can make is a livin'

F      C                        G
Hey, I should have moved back a long time

C
ago

                   F           C
I'm gonna move way back in the mountains

                         G
Build a cabin nobody can find

          C        F           C
I'm gonna move way back in the mountains

F         C          G        C
I'm gonna leave this old city behind

                   F           C
I'm gonna move way back in the mountains

                         G
Build a cabin nobody can find
