High And Mighty chords by Keller Williams

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 barre on 5th fret, down to G barre on
third fret then the E normal.  In the chorus, start with the E barre on 7th fret.

The roots grow down to the river, seed from long ago.

A                   G                     D       G    A

Big old witness to the Civil War, getting ready to float down stream.



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

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

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

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

You say, we should, pack and move away from this place.

Then your granddaddy picked it up and cracked it like a whip, snapped it's head clean off.

But that's right, ready to float down stream.
