John Gorka - High Horse


INTRO: C D G Em  (2x)

   C         D
If I come down from my high horse
    G          Em
And you come down from your hill
   C        D
I'll ride up from the valley
   G        Em
From our place by the mill


  C          D
The neighbourhood's gone quiet
     G       Em
Since the good jobs have gone
     Am  D
With the odds against us
     C      D
Stacked a thousand-to-one

 C        D
Ohh, everything is changing
  G       Em
The new jobs don't pay
  C       D
Our old street is crumbling
     G    Em
Young ones moving away


  C        D
So, that's why I called you
 G       Em
I know you could help
  C     D
If you were inclined to
     G       Em   Am D
You could swing it yourself


  C       D
Please do it for Gracie
G       Em
Not for my sake
   C       D
Back then when she chose me
   G       Em
Maybe she made a mistake


  C      D    G
Now memories are pictures
       Em
Scissors, for thoughts
  C        D
The wars that we're fighting are
  G      Em   Am D
The wars that we fought


    C        D
I can't change all that happened
    G        Em
Or the words that I said
    C    D
Taking on every demon
   G      Em
I was full speed ahead


  C           D
You should know this isn't like me
    G    Em
Or the man I became
    C         D
Didn't work for my health
      G      Em   Am D
I'd say it's caught up again


G   C      D
Oh, we did have an estate
G        Em
Treatments took that
   C      D
And I did have my pride
       G       Em
But that came off with my cap


  C         D
If I don't hear from you
     G     Em   C
Know that I'll understand
         D
I have until the [priest statement]
   C          D
"She knows you're a good man"


  C          D
The neighbourhood's gone quiet
     G       Em
Since the good jobs went south
   C         D
Went straight through to China
    G      Em   Am
Now it's fingers to mouth
  D   Am
Fingers
  D    G
