High Top Mountain (2013) [Intro] [Verse 1]
          E
Well they say you live & learn but it really seems more to me

                         B7              E
Like all along I've been learning how to live

         E
Well for years I been drifting like a boat lost out at sea

                                       B7          E
I've been out walking them ties on the railroad of sin

         E
Well now looking back on my life now at some of the things I done

               B7              E
Makes me wanna hang my head in shame

        E
I was a no good, no account, low down heartbreaker

                                B7          E    E/F# E/G E/G#
On that railroad of sin I was a highballing train
[Chorus]
           A                             E
I'm just a poor boy had to beg, steal, & borrow

                    B7              E
Just a leaf blowing lonesome in the wind

                                  A
I'm just a hitchhiker on that old highway of sorrow

       E                         B7          E
Just a highballing train on that railroad of sin
[Solo] |A |E |E |B7 E |E | [Verse 3]
               E
Well you won't feel it and you won't hear it coming

                         B7                   E
Cause when she's rolling slow it don't make a sound

                                      B7
But I got that throttle to ten on the railroad of sin

           E                      B7            E
I'm coming off of the rails and I can't slow it down
[Chorus]
           A                             E
I'm just a poor boy had to beg, steal, & borrow

                    B7              E
Just a leaf blowing lonesome in the wind

                                  A
I'm just a hitchhiker on that old highway of sorrow

       E                         B7          E
Just a highballing train on that railroad of sin
[Solo] |A |E |E |B7 E | [Chorus]
           A                             E
Well I'm a poor boy had to beg, steal, & borrow

                    B7              E
Just a leaf blowing lonesome in the wind

                                  A
I'm just a hitchhiker on that old highway of sorrow

       E                         B7          E
Just a highballing train on that railroad of sin
