High On A Hilltop Chords & Lyrics - Merle Haggard

[C]High on a hilltop over [F]looking the [C]city

I can see the bright [G7]lights as they [C]glea[G7]m

And some[C]where you're dancing in [F]some dingy [C]barroom

And the lure of the gayness takes [G7]the place of our [C]dream

[F]High on a hilltop my heart cries oh [C]Lord

Forgive her she knows not the [G7]way

And [C]give me the power to be[F]lieve that some[C]day

High on a hilltop [G7]together we'll [C]pray

I can vision a rounder with a [F]line so [C]smooth

And a promise of [G7]riches for [C]you[G7]

But you [C]see not the danger cause you're [F]silly with [C]booze

And from high on a hilltop I see the [G7]devil win [C]you

[F]High on a hilltop my heart cries oh [C]Lord

Forgive her she knows not the [G7]way

And [C]give me the power to be[F]lieve that some[C]day

High on a hilltop [G7]together we'll [C]pray
