High Lonesome Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em][G][C][G][C]
[Em][C][Em][C]
[Em][D]
[Em]So the ambulances

[Verse 1]
came
They took your [Am]pulse and
packed [D]up your things
And the paper[Em]s read
Some boys for[G]get what
the [D]heartache brings

[Verse 2]
And the pounding in [Em]the street
Was [Am]your heart in four- four [D]time
And the taste of de[Em]feat
Was [G]never too [D]far from your mind
[C][D]

[Verse 3]
And [Em]Maria came from [C]Nashville
with a [G]suitcase in [D]her hand
[Em]I always kinda sorta [C]wished
I looked [G]like [D]Elvis
And in my [Em]head there's all these [C]clas
sic cars and [G]outlaw [D]cowboy bands
I [Em]always kinda [C]sorta wished I
was [G]someone else
[D][Em][G]

[Verse 4]
So [Em]gravity came
And stole [Am]the temple that
the schoolboys [D]praised
And the crowd [Em]shuffled in
You're getting [G]drinks for the same [D]boys
who once bought you [Em]everything

[Verse 5]
And the powder on the [Em]bar[Am]
was just this one [D]time
The patter [Em]on the bar
was just this [G]one night
[D]And only to get by
[C][D]

[Verse 6]
And [Em]Maria came f[C]rom Nashville
with [G]a suitcase in h[D]er hand
I always [Em]kinda [C]sorta wished
I looked [G]like [D]Elvis
And in my [Em]head there's all [C]these classic
cars [G]and outlaw [D]cowboy bands
I [Em]always kinda sorta [C]wished I
was [G]someone else
[D][Em]

[Verse 7]
There was "South[C]ern [D]Accents"
on [Em]the radio as I drove [C]home[D]
An[Em]d at night I wake up with
the sheets soaking wet
[C]It's a pretty good song,
baby [D]you know the [Em]rest
Baby, you know [C]the rest

[Verse 8]
[D]
And [Em]Maria came [C]from Nashville with
a [G]suitcase [Bm]in her ha[D]nd
[Em]Always kinda sorta [C]wished
I looked [G]like [D]Elvis
And in my [Em]head there's all these [C]classic
cars and [G]outlaw [D]cowboy bands
I [Em]always kinda [C]sorta wished
I was [G]someone else
[D]

[Verse 9]
When [Em]our boots they hit the [C]ground
They made [G]a high and
lonesome [D]sound
When [Em]our boots they hit [C]the ground
They made a [G]high and lonesome [D]sound
When [Em]our boots they hit [C]the ground
They made a [G]high and lonesome [D]sound

[Verse 10]
When [Em]our boots they hit the ground
[C]Down from the clo[G]uds
They made a high and lonesome sound
