Highland Grace chords by Hiss Golden Messenger

The B7 you hear a lot of in the song is played x21202
I'm not sure if he plays the straight B towards the end, but you can hear for yourself what you prefer.
Tuned a half-step down.

intro:

E  B7 A   B7


verse:

  E            B7 A
And then there came a stranger
         E      B7   A
call her Highland Grace, a rearranger
     E        B7   A
I'd been searching in the mirror,
         E            B7    A
but seeing my own face didn't make it any clearer

  E           B7    A
I'd rage against the hard times
            E         B7   A
while others smiled to say, "Hey, take it easy."
  E        B7   A
And lo, this little angel
          E           B7   A
was standing in the rain, oh, just what I needed


chorus:
E     B7     F#m   A
Ain't that just like a Saturday child?
A      E      F#m       A
Bound for Avalon with the birds 'round her head
E         B7     F#m     A
She loves with the love of a gentle child
    A      E   F#m       A
I was a fool of the rule before I met her


verse:

E         B7  A
Good morning, Matokie
          E     B7    A
Tell me about those great expectations
    E        B7   A
When I set the river on fire
         E          B7   A
You laughed in my face when things got dire

     E       B7    A
Yea, and sleep went to slaughter
         E        B7     A
I saw you drift away, farther and farther
  E        B7    A
My eyes pinned like diamonds,
         E            B7  A
head of smoke for days, I loved you little liar


chorus:
E     B7     F#m   A
Ain't that just like a Saturday child?
A      E      F#m       A
Bound for Avalon with the birds 'round her head
E         B7     F#m     A
She loves with the love of a gentle child
   A      E       F#m       A
Hey, fool of the rule, not everything's for sale


outro:

         B
And if you can't buy it
         A
And you stand and deny it
         B
And if you can't see it
         A
And you refuse to believe it
         B
And if you can't count it
            A
And you can't help but doubt it

  B       E     A          B
But loving her way easy, the easiest thing in the world
E       A               B
Loving her way easy, the easiest thing in the world
  B       E     A          B
Oh loving her way easy, the easiest thing in the world
