D Em7 C G
[Verse 1]
D Em7
I was born up on a mountain
C G
While the snow was coming in
D Em7
But I woke up in this valley
C G
Pulled my collar to the wind
D Em7
I saw the chance to catch a ride
C G
With a fair-weather friend
D Em7
But I never met a shortcut
C G D Em7 C
Wasn’t longer in the end
[Chorus]
G D Em7
Take the high road
C G
Over the mountain pass
D Em7
Take the high road
C G
Going slow while everybody’s going fast
D Em7
It won’t be the easy way
C G
Saying what you want to say
D Em7 C G D
Take the high road, baby
[Interlude]
Em7 C G
[Verse 2]
D Em7
Lately I’ve been keeping
C G
Two feet down on the ground
D Em7
Not causing a commotion
C G
Trying not to make a sound
D Em7
I wouldn’t want somebody
C G
To get the wrong idea
D Em7
But I’m tired of being quiet
C
Time to face up to the fear
[Chorus]
G D Em7
Take the high road
C G
Over the mountain pass
D Em7
Take the high road
C G
Going slow while everybody’s going fast
D Em7
It won’t be the easy way
C G
Saying what you want to say
D Em7 C G
Take the high road, baby
[Guitar Solo]
Am Em D Am C
[Chorus]
G D
