Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]You[F] fell asleep wit[C]h
your [Am]head [C]down
[F]I fell asleep s[C]aying please
The [F]banjos and [C]fiddles
played [Am]breakdown[C]s
[Dm]And we slept like babies

[Verse 2]
[F]Out in the bar [C]room you [Am]sang [C]songs
[F]Songs from [C]an other time
[F]And when you[C] got the[Am]
[C]words wrong
[Dm]I woke up and sang your lines

[Verse 3]
[G]You [Am]take the high road[F] - and
[C]I'll take the low [F]road
I'll [C]get there before [G]you
We'll [Am]make it to Scot[F]land
Or [C]have we forgot[F]ten what [C]we're going
there [G]for?
[F][C][Dm][G][C]

[Verse 4]
[F]You fell [C]in love with your [Am]hands out
[C]You[F]r hands made a p[C]eace sign
So [F]I fell apart w[C]hen you p[Am]ulled o[C]ut
[Dm]We ought to try to try

[Verse 5]
[F]Everything's [C]broken around [Am]me[C]
[F]The heather die[C]s when I pass
[F]The sky loo[C]ks like a fou[Am]ndry[C]
Where [Dm]my heart is metal cast

[Verse 6]
[G]You [Am]take the high [F]road - and
[C]I'll take the low [F]road
I'll [C]get there before [G]you
We'll [Am]make it to Scot[F]land
Or [C]have we forgot[F]ten what [C]we're
going there [G]for?
[F][C][Dm][C]

[Verse 7]
[Eb]I'll swim 'cross the coldest sea
In a [Em]transatlantic [Eb]rev erie
[F]Just to see [Cm]your face when I wash [G]up
[Eb]On the barren shores of Skye
Then [Em]to the lowland[Eb]s we'll fly
[F]Take my hand, [Cm]walk side [G]by side
Side by [F]side

[Interlude 1]
[C][Am][C][F][C][F]
[C][Am][C][Dm][G][F]
[C]Jamie,

[Verse 8]
[Am]try [C]me
[F]Pour me an[C]other I'm dry
[F]Hold on to [C]whatever [Am]will [C]be
And [Dm]we'll raise our glasses high

[Verse 9]
[G]You [Am]take the high road[F] - and
[C]I'll take the low [F]road
I'll [C]get there be[G]fore you
[Em]We'll [Am]make it to Scot[F]land
Or [C]have we for[F]gotten what
[C]we're going there [G]for?
