♫ Verse 1:
           D           Em7
I was born up on a mountain
               C             G
While the snow was coming in
           D             Em7
But I woke up in this valley
             C               G
Pulled my collar to the wind
   D                        Em7
I saw the chance to catch a ride
     C                   G
With a fair-weather friend
      D                Em7
But I never met a shortcut
       C              G  D  Em7  C
Wasn’t longer in the end

♫ Chorus:
G             D  Em7
Take the high road
 C                 G
Over the mountain pass
              D  Em7
Take the high road
      C                            G
Going slow while everybody’s going fast
    D                Em7
It won’t be the easy way
C                        G
Saying what you want to say
              D       Em7  C  G  D
Take the high road, baby


♫ Interlude:
Em7  C  G


♫ Verse 2:
D                Em7
Lately I’ve been keeping
    C                      G
Two feet down on the ground
    D              Em7
Not causing a commotion
       C               G
Trying not to make a sound
  D                 Em7
I wouldn’t want somebody
   C              G
To get the wrong idea
        D              Em7
But I’m tired of being quiet
        C
Time to face up to the fear


♫ Chorus:
G             D  Em7
Take the high road
 C                 G
Over the mountain pass
              D  Em7
Take the high road
      C                            G
Going slow while everybody’s going fast
    D                Em7
It won’t be the easy way
C                        G
Saying what you want to say
              D       Em7  C  G
Take the high road, baby
