The Charlie Daniels Band – High Lonesome (Guitar)

Am                    Am/G#
Just you and me and a little white pup,

Am/G                         Am/F#
Sittin' here waiting for the sun to come up,

FΔ                   Bm11     E7
  To keep the chill away.

Am                         Am/G#
Drinkin' our coffee at the first crack of dawn,

Am/G                     Am/F#
Watchin' a doe while she nuzzles her fawn,

FΔ                             D7
  It's my favorite time of the day.

G  C  Bm  C
Hi-----gh Lonesome.

G                A                 D
  God don't ever let this mountain change.

G  C  Bm  C
Hi-----gh Lonesome.

G                 A               D    C#-D-E7
  I hope you will always stay the same.

Am                                 Am/G#
Sometimes in the evening when it’s all kinda still,

Am/G                        Am/F#
Sweet mountain music floats over the hill,

FΔ                    Bm11     E7
  On a laurel-scented breeze.

Am                            Am/G#
Sometimes when nightbirds are scolding the mist,

Am/G                   Am/F#
  I think I might know where heaven is,

FΔ                    D7
  It's just above the trees.

G  C  Bm  C
Hi-----gh Lonesome.

G                A                 D
  God don't ever let this mountain change.

G  C  Bm  C
Hi-----gh Lonesome.

G                 A               D    C#-D-E7
  I hope you will always stay the same.

Am                      Am/G#
Watchin' my summertimes turnin' to falls,

Am/G                  Am/F#
Seein' my son growing honest and tall,

FΔ              Bm11     E7
  Keeps me satisfied.

   Am                Am/G#
If I live forever or I die today,

Am/G                   Am/F#
All I would ask is you just let me lay here,

FΔ                D7
  On this mountainside.

G  C  Bm  C
Hi-----gh Lonesome.

G  C  Bm  C
Hi-----gh Lonesome.

G  C  Bm  C
Hi-----gh Lonesome.
