High And Lonesome chords by The Black Crowes

Key: Am

Intro:

Am


Verse 1:
Am
Let us toast to sweet sorrow
Am
Let us touch the cold hand of fate
Am
And let us forget all tomorrows in the shadow of today
Am
And let us forgive their trespass
Am
For they know not what they've done
Am
In the ruins of the garden, the ground is blistered from the sun

Chorus:
Em          Dm                   Am
Try to keep what's buried in the ground
    Em            Dm               Am
And cry until the walls all tumble down
    Em       Dm                Am
And I make a high and lonesome sound


Verse 2:
          Am
Come, you rogues, come, you vultures
Am
And taste the devil's own delights
Am
There are thrills and tortures
Am
See all manner of strange sights
Am
And the moonlight falls narcotic
Am
As we wait for the undertow
Am
Speaking words forbidden
Am
As the candles all glow


Chorus:
Em          Dm                   Am
Try to keep what's buried in the ground
    Em            Dm               Am
And cry until the walls all tumble down
    Em       Dm                G    C G
And I make a high and lonesome sound


[Instrumental Break]
Am


Chorus:
Em          Dm                   Am
Try to keep what's buried in the ground
    Em Am    Em  Am        Dm               Am
And cry, oh, cry until the walls all tumble down
    Em       Dm                G
And I make a high and lonesome sound


Outro:
G
And then we kissed along the riverside
G
The twilight came alive
G
The water flowed, and the birds did sing
G                                   Em    G    Am    C
I knew I'd always be by your side
