[Intro] x2
Am G D

[Verse 1]
Am                       G                    D
Should've been a lawman, dominant hand with a radical creed
Am                              G                   D
Should've punched clocks on the piers and the docks makin' concrete
          Am            G                  D
I've seen ships down in Savannah let their ivory sails soar
Am                  G              D
I could've gotten used to life at sea
Am                     G                    D
Could've been a doctor livin' in a mansion, rich as I'd be
Am                       G                       D
Would've had a fast car, young blonde girlfriend all for free
          Am                 G                D
I like to think in some town far away there'd be a man like I am now
Am                G             D     C
He will feel that he was losin' touch, lost too much

[Chorus]
D A         G
High in the country
D         A         G
Where the skies are blue
D A         G
High in the country
        Em       G
Where I dream of you

[Verse 2]
         Am                       G
Well I'm down with the devil, and down with the saints
D
I'm layin' on thick, fresh coats of paint
Am                        G
Take it all back, take it all back, Jack
D
She never loved a damn thing, never lost face
Am            G                  D
I would die a thousand deaths to end up in her lovin' arms
Am             G             D   C
Every chance I had I threw away, I spent everyday

[Chorus]
D A         G
High in the country
D         A         G
Where the skies are blue
D A         G
High in the country
        Em         A
Where I dreamed of you

[Bridge]
        Em         A
Where I dreamed of you
      Em         G
Yes I dreamed of you

[Chorus]
D A         G
High in the country
D         A           G
Where the strong wind blew
D A         G
High in the country
        Em         G
Where I dreamed of you

[Outro]
        Em       A
Still I dream of you
