Highlands

Intro: C 



[Verso 1]
 
C 
Oh, she calls to me in red letters 
          F                   C 
Like some tails lights in the fog 
       Am            F 
In the memories of magnolias 
       G          C 
In the frailty of fall 
 


[Verso 2]
 
C 
It's a work of light and contrast 
       F               C 
In the shadows where I roam 
          Am               F 
Trying to find my place to lay my head 
        G           C 
That'll never be my home 
 


[Refrão]
 
C 
We go down 
C 
We go down 
      F                      C 
We go down with our renegade ways 
            Am                   F 
Trading thy love for little wild lightning 
          G 
Wondering why it never soothes the pain 
         C 
So be my rest 
C 
Be my mountain 
      F                 C 
Be my never gonna pass away 
          Am                      F 
When I go blind, be the voice I'm hearing 
        G 
'Til we all get to see your face 
           Am  F  C  G 
In the highlands 
           Am  C Em F  C 
In the highlands 
 


[Verso 3]
 
C 
I can taste all of the pleasures 
        F        C 
Write a melody inclined 
        Am                F 
Fill my house with golden treasures 
        G             C 
All I'm filling up is time 
 


[Verso 4]
 
C 
'Til the waking of the sadness 
        F              C 
Comes a knocking at my door 
       Am                    F 
Saying you ain't crossed the ocean 
         G                   C 
Son, you ain't even seen the shore 
 


[Refrão]
 
             C 
'Cause we go down 
C 
We go down 
      F                      C 
We go down with our renegade ways 
            Am                   F 
Trading thy love for little wild lightning 
          G 
Wondering why it never soothes the pain 
         C 
So be my rest 
C 
Be my mountain 
      F                 C 
Be my never gonna pass away 
          Am                      F 
When I go blind, be the voice I'm hearing 
        G 
'Til we all get to see your face 
           Am  F  C  G 
In the highlands 
           Am  C Em F  G 
In the highlands 
 


[Ponte]
 
Dm      C/E                F     C 
Oh, how long how long will we be stranded 
Dm      C/E              F       G 
On this highway, nowhere else to go 
Dm      C/E            F        C 
Oh, how long until our feet are planted 
Dm     C/E           F    G 
On the rock of ages, ever known
