The High Road

1m ^b7

Up on the high road lookin’ down

1m

Thinking how you let me down

^b6 1m

And deep in my heart I hear the sound

5 1m

Of the song that carried me away

1m 2

We would come here years ago

5 ^b6 5

And the stars would shine and the wind would blow

4m 1m

You’d look in my eyes and I would know

5 1m

That you would carry me away

Late last week in the marketplace

I heard your voice and I saw your face

You were gone without a trace

It sure did carry me away

I’ll play a tune and watch the stars

Hope the wind will carry it far

And if you hear me wherever you are

Just let it carry you away

Play old fiddle and carry me away

To another life and another day

Well here’s a little tune I always play

It sure does carry me away
