Bm                 G                   D    A
The letter said it all, we're shipping out

I know they got it wrong without a doubt

The battle of the bloody century

What is going here, what becomes the lot of us

I thought I would complain, dear

                               D     A
When joining with the great circus

I've got high hopes tonight

I got high alright

The patter of forsaken voices loud

Bm                   G             D      A
Lined throughout the pockets of my vest

Bm                G               D       A
A greenback skeleton holds in the rest
[Verse 4]
G                                        D
A symphony of mercy falls upon no deafer ears

G                                                      D
I'd look you in the eyes but I wouldn't recognize your fears
[Chorus]

But I've got high, I've got high

D7            G
I've got high hopes tonight

I got high alright
