Hey here's an acoustic version of High Lonesome. have fun and feel free to comment. I saw Brian Fallon playing this one somewhere on you tube. Should be pretty much accurate. Brian tuned everything half step down, but still sounds good with standard tuning. C (032010) C 2 (032013) -----------------> in the bridge G (320033) ------------------| in the verse & chorus G 2 (320013) ------------------| in the intro & bridge G/E (055410) ------------------| before chorus F/E (033210) Dm (xx0231) Am7 (002213) ------------------| in the intro & verse Am (002210) ------------------| in the chorus If you have trouble playing or remembering the chords, you can also play the standard chords, still sounds good. but Brian Fallon plays it the way I tabed it. please rate and feel free to correct Intro: C G 2* F/E (2x) * played very briefly Am7 F/E (2x) G/E Verse: Am7 So the ambulances came Dm G They took your pulse and packed up your things Am7 And the papers read C G Some boys forget what the heart it brings Am7 And the pounding in the street Dm G Was your heart in four four time Am7 And the taste of defeat C G F/E G/E Was was never too far from your mind Chorus: Am F/E C G And Maria came from Nashville with a suitcase in her hand Am F/E C G I always kinda sorta wished I looked like Elvis Am F/E C G And in my head there's all these classic cars and outlaw cowboy bands Am F/E C G I always kinda sorta wish I'm someone else Verse: Am7 So gravity came Dm G And stole the temple that the schoolboys praised Am7 And the crowd shuffled in C You're getting drinks for the same boys G Am7 Who once bought you everything Dm And the patter on the bar G Was just this one time Am7 The patter on the bar C Was just this one night G F/E G/E Only to get by Chorus: Am F/E C G And Maria came from Nashville with a suitcase in her hand Am F/E C G I always kinda sorta wished I looked like Elvis Am F/E C G And in my head there's all these classic cars and outlaw cowboy bands Am F/E C G I always kinda sorta wish I'm someone else Bridge: Am7 C 2 G 2 There were Southern accents Am7 C 2 G 2 On the radio As I drove home Am7 And at night I wake up with the sheets soaking wet C 2 G 2 It's a pretty good song Maybe you know the rest Am7 C 2 G Maybe you know the rest Chorus: Am F/E C G And Maria came from Nashville with a suitcase in her hand Am F/E C G I always kinda sorta wished I looked like Elvis Am F/E C G And in my head there's all these classic cars and outlaw cowboy bands Am F/E C G I always kinda sorta wish I'm someone else Am F/E When our boots they hit the ground { C G { They made a high and lonesome sound { 3x Am F/E When our boots they hit the ground C G Am They made a high, a high and lonesome sound
