High On The Hog chords by Hailey Whitters

Key: D

Intro:

D


Verse 1:
D
This thirty-five hundred Chevy rust bucket’s
                 G
Pulling onto the strip
   D
My eyes gonna need gels and Visine
                          G
After pulling a graveyard shift
        D
I got a heel on the gas, been haulin’ ass
                             G
Since playing for the Husker State
                     D
I’m running on fumes swearing this run
      A                 D
Might be ole gal’s last leg

Verse 2:
D
Well the Colonel just called, said the next song
                            G
Might go all the way to the top
D
Dang how he loves to dangle the carrot
                                G
When I’m busting my tail in the slop
      D                   G
But I roll up these puffy sleeves
      D                     G
And I put on these fake eye lashes
G
Might look like the dream,
    D
But being Corn Queen
     A                       D
Hell it ain’t all crowns and sashes


Chorus:
                      G
I’ve been fighting my way
                     D
Tooth and cherry red nails
                                                           A
Biting ‘em down to the quick to keep the damn thing on the rails
                    D
I’m still paying my dues
                   G
I hope it all pays off
       D
It’s a heavy crown but it don’t get me down
           A                          D
‘Cause I’m sittin’ pretty high on the hog


Interlude:
D  G  D


Verse 3:
D
Mama made my clothes and rocked me in a crib
                      G
In a baby-blue single wide
D
Daddy worked nights for the corn plant
                           G
‘Til he struck out his own dime
         D
The only thing I’ve known is going for broke
                           G
So even if the whole thing fails
                                 D
Well I’d rather never make it in my own lane
     A               D
Than ride in on coat tails


Chorus:
                      G
I’ve been fighting my way
                     D
Tooth and cherry red nails
                                                           A
Biting ‘em down to the quick to keep the damn thing on the rails
                   D
I’m getting burned out
                   G
Of burning up this road
      D
If my only legacy is the songs that I sing
        A                          D
I’ll be sittin’ pretty high on the hog
      G     D    A      D
High, high, high on the hog


Instrumental Break:
G    D    A    D

Verse 4:
D
Well I’ve been to a palace in South Dakota
                         G
I bowed and I kissed the ring
  D
I dined with a Dairy Princess in Minnesota
           G
Made radio king
     D
I’ve come pretty far, they call me a star
                         G
But boys still rule that throne
                                D
I got my name in the lights, shining tonight
    A                               D
But all that glitters ain’t really gold
