High and Mighty
By Keller Williams from the album Vape.
Chords by Nathan Saydyk

This is a very basic...but easy to play. I think he does a different tuning but I can not figure it out.
I also don't like to retune while playing by the fire pit.

You have to listen to him play it first, you have to get the melody to sing it properly.

It is much easier to play if you do mostly barre cords. Start with A augmentedA barre on 5th fret, down to G+G barre on
third fret then the E MajorE normal. In the chorus, start with the E MajorE barre on 7th fret.


A augmentedA  G+G    E MajorE   G+G Repeat 4x
oh oh oh uhhhhhh

A augmentedA             G+G   D MajorD       A augmentedA
The roots grow down to the river, seed from long ago.

A augmentedA          G+G           D MajorD    G+G  A augmentedA
And when I say from long ago, I mean from ever so long ago.

E MajorE
Yo


A augmentedA           G+G      D MajorD           A augmentedA
Roots grow down to the river, they go to bank a sideways tree.

A augmentedA           G+G         D MajorD    G+G     A augmentedA
Big old witness to the Civil War, getting ready to float down stream.


E MajorE         G+G         A augmentedA
But that's right, ready to float down stream.

E MajorE      G+G         A augmentedA   E MajorE
Not tonight, hanging on to the dream.

A augmentedA    G+G          D MajorD           A augmentedA
You say, don't ya come at me like your all high and mighty.

A augmentedA   G+G    D MajorD         G+G G#G# A augmentedA (walk it up)
I say, mighty, no, but defiantly high.

A augmentedA    G+G     D MajorD              A augmentedA
You say, we should, pack and move away from this place.

A augmentedA   G+G    D MajorD            G+G G#G# A augmentedA (walk it up)
I say, let me, uncork another bottle of wine.

A augmentedA  G+G  E MajorE   G+G Repeat 4x
oh oh oh uhhhhhh


A augmentedA           G+G         D MajorD          A augmentedA
Roots grow down to the river, where your grandmamma said don't go.

A augmentedA                G+G       D MajorD       G+G  A augmentedA
She said, "You might fall in the water, and get sucked in the undertow."

E MajorE
No

A augmentedA           G+G     D MajorD               A augmentedA
Roots grow down to the river, so quite you can hear that snake cough.

A augmentedA                   G+G            D MajorD      G+G     A augmentedA
Then your granddaddy picked it up and cracked it like a whip, snapped it's head clean off.


E MajorE         G+G         A augmentedA
But that's right, ready to float down stream.

E MajorE      G+G         A augmentedA   E MajorE
Not tonight, hanging on to the dream.

A augmentedA    G+G          D MajorD           A augmentedA
You say, don't ya come at me like your all high and mighty.

A augmentedA   G+G    D MajorD         G+G G#G# A augmentedA (walk it up)
I say, mighty, no, but defiantly high.

A augmentedA    G+G     D MajorD              A augmentedA
You say, we should, pack and move away from this place.

A augmentedA   G+G    D MajorD            G+G G#G# A augmentedA (walk it up)
I say, let me, uncork another bottle of wine.


(Instrumental I can not do...and prefer to listen to Keller do instead)


E MajorE         G+G         A augmentedA
But that's right, ready to float down stream.

E MajorE      G+G         A augmentedA   E MajorE
Not tonight, hanging on to the dream.


A augmentedA           G+G     D MajorD        A augmentedA
Roots grow down to the river, and right under this here house.

A augmentedA               G+G           D MajorD           G+G     A augmentedA
And the one next door and the one down the road and the one that's goanna be knocked down.

A augmentedA           G+G      D MajorD           A augmentedA
Roots grow down to the river, they go to bank a sideways tree

A augmentedA            G+G     D MajorD        G+G     A augmentedA
Big old witness to the Civil War, getting ready to float down stream.


E MajorE         G+G         A augmentedA
But that's right, ready to float down stream.

E MajorE      G+G         A augmentedA   E MajorE
Not tonight, hanging on to the dream.

A augmentedA    G+G          D MajorD           A augmentedA
You say, don't ya come at me like your all high and mighty.

A augmentedA   G+G    D MajorD         G+G G#G# A augmentedA (walk it up)

A augmentedA  G+G  E MajorE   G+G Repeat 4x
oh oh oh uhhhhhh
