[Intro] x2
Am G D
[Verse 1]
Am G D
Should've been a lawman, dominant hand with a radical creed
Am G D
Should've punched clocks on the piers and the docks makin' concrete
Am G D
I've seen ships down in Savannah let their ivory sails soar
Am G D
I could've gotten used to life at sea
Am G D
Could've been a doctor livin' in a mansion, rich as I'd be
Am G D
Would've had a fast car, young blonde girlfriend all for free
Am G D
I like to think in some town far away there'd be a man like I am now
Am G D C
He will feel that he was losin' touch, lost too much
[Chorus]
D A G
High in the country
D A G
Where the skies are blue
D A G
High in the country
Em G
Where I dream of you
[Verse 2]
Am G
Well I'm down with the devil, and down with the saints
D
I'm layin' on thick, fresh coats of paint
Am G
Take it all back, take it all back, Jack
D
She never loved a damn thing, never lost face
Am G D
I would die a thousand deaths to end up in her lovin' arms
Am G D C
Every chance I had I threw away, I spent everyday
[Chorus]
D A G
High in the country
D A G
Where the skies are blue
D A G
High in the country
Em A
Where I dreamed of you
[Bridge]
Em A
Where I dreamed of you
Em G
Yes I dreamed of you
[Chorus]
D A G
High in the country
D A G
Where the strong wind blew
D A G
High in the country
Em G
Where I dreamed of you
[Outro]
Em A
Still I dream of you
Am G D
