Merle Haggard

^D High on a hilltop over- ^G looking the ^D city
I can see the ^A7 bright lights as they ^D gleam ^A7
And ^D somewhere you're dancing in ^G some dingy ^D barroom
And the lure of the gayness takes the ^A7 place of our ^D dream.
CHORUS
^G High on a hilltop my heart cries, Oh ^D Lord
Forgive her she knows not the ^A7 way
And ^D give me the power to be- ^G lieve and some ^D day
High on a hilltop to- ^A7 gether we'll ^D pray.
I can vision a rounder with a line so smooth
And a promise of riches for you
But you see not the danger, 'cause you're silly with booze
And high on a hilltop I see the devil win you.
CHORUS
