High Top Mountain (2013)

Capo 3


Intro:


Verse 1:
     E MajorE
Well they say you live & learn but it really seems more to me
             B7B7       E MajorE
Like all along I've been learning how to live
     E MajorE
Well for years I been drifting like a boat lost out at sea
                    B7B7     E MajorE
I've been out walking them ties on the railroad of sin

     E MajorE
Well now looking back on my life now at some of the things I done
        B7B7       E MajorE
Makes me wanna hang my head in shame
    E MajorE
I was a no good, no account, low down heartbreaker
                B7B7     E MajorE  E/F#E/F# E/G E/G#
On that railroad of sin I was a highballing train

Chorus:
      A augmentedA               E MajorE
I'm just a poor boy had to beg, steal, & borrow
          B7B7       E MajorE
Just a leaf blowing lonesome in the wind
                 A augmentedA
I'm just a hitchhiker on that old highway of sorrow
    E MajorE             B7B7     E MajorE
Just a highballing train on that railroad of sin


Solo:
|A augmentedA  |E MajorE  |E MajorE  |B7B7 E MajorE |E MajorE  |


Verse 3:
        E MajorE
Well you won't feel it and you won't hear it coming
             B7B7          E MajorE
Cause when she's rolling slow it don't make a sound
                   B7B7
But I got that throttle to ten on the railroad of sin
      E MajorE           B7B7      E MajorE
I'm coming off of the rails and I can't slow it down

Chorus:
      A augmentedA               E MajorE
I'm just a poor boy had to beg, steal, & borrow
          B7B7       E MajorE
Just a leaf blowing lonesome in the wind
                 A augmentedA
I'm just a hitchhiker on that old highway of sorrow
    E MajorE             B7B7     E MajorE
Just a highballing train on that railroad of sin


Solo:
|A augmentedA  |E MajorE  |E MajorE  |B7B7 E MajorE |

Chorus:
      A augmentedA               E MajorE
Well I'm a poor boy had to beg, steal, & borrow
          B7B7       E MajorE
Just a leaf blowing lonesome in the wind
                 A augmentedA
I'm just a hitchhiker on that old highway of sorrow
    E MajorE             B7B7     E MajorE
