Black Oak Arkansas: High 'N Dry

from the Album High On The Hog (1973)


High 'N Dry  

         G
When the water is a risen
        Am
Tell me where you gonna go
         D
When the Dams are all a bustin'
         Am
And it's floodin' down below
        G
And the rushin' of the river
         Am
Tells ya there's no place ta hide
          D
You'll be high 'n dry babe
            Am
Right by my side

Chorus:
        G
High 'N Dry 
         Am          C
with the waters down below
        Am                  C
Runnin' where they want to go
         F                  C
But they can't judge you no more
        G
High 'N Dry
         Am             C
With the waters at high tide
         Am         D                  C  G
With you here by my side we're High 'N Dry

verse2
         G
When the streams are all a swollen
        Am
and the rivers are a swellin'
        D
And you cannot find a hole in which
        Am
To hide 'cept one you fell in
         G
And that muddy old man river
         Am
Tries to take you for a ride
          D
You'll be High 'N Dry babe 
            D
right by my side

chorus:
        G
High 'N Dry 
         Am          C
with the waters down below
         Am                C
Runnin' where they want to go
          F                 C
But they can't judge you no more
        G
High 'N Dry
         Am             C
With the waters at high tide
         Am          D                 C  G
With you here by my side we're High 'N Dry

High 'N Dry

         Am               C
Runnin' where they want to go
         F                  C
But they can't judge you no more
        G
High 'N Dry
         Am             C
With the waters at high tide
         Am          D                 C   G
With you here by my side we're High 'N Dry
