High In The Country chords by Brent Cobb

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Difficulty: Intermediate

Play the barred version of an Am to get the high A string to ring.
It's pretty much a walk down on the high e string from 5th fret to 3rd to 2nd.
The G can be played normally or barred depending on what is an easier transition.

Verse 1:
Am                       G                      D
Should've been a lawman, diamond in hand with a radical creed
Am                              G                   D
Should've punched clocks on the beers and the docks makin' concrete
          Am            G                   D
I've seen ships down in Savannah left their ivory sails soar
Am                  G               D
I could've gotten used to life it seems
Am                     G                    D
Could've been a doctor livin' in a mansion, rich as I'd be
Am                       G                       D
Could've had a fast car, young blonde girlfriend all for free
          Am                 G                D
I like to think in some town far away there'd be a man like I am now
Am                G             D     C
He will feel that he was losin' touch, lost too much

Chorus:
D A         G
High in the country
D         A         G
Where the skies are blue
D A         G
High in the country
        Em       G
Where I dream of you

Verse 2:
         Am                       G
Well I'm down with the devil, I'm down with the saints
D
I'm layin' on thick, fresh coats of paint
Am                        G
Take it all back, take it all back, Jack
D
She never loved a damn thing, never lost faith
Am            G                  D
I would die a thousand deaths to end up in her lovin' arms
Am             G             D   C
Every chance I had I threw away, I spent everyday

Chorus:
D A         G
High in the country
D         A         G
Where the skies are blue
D A         G
High in the country
        Em       A
Where I dream of you

Bridge:
        Em       A
Where I dream of you
     Em       G
As I dream of you

Chorus:
D A         G
High in the country
D         A           G
Where the strong wind blew
D A         G
High in the country
        Em       G
Where I dream of you

Outro:
        Em       A
Still I dream of you
