Hey here's an acoustic version of High Lonesome.
have fun and feel free to comment. I saw Brian Fallon playing this one somewhere on
Should be pretty much accurate.
Brian tuned everything half step down, but still sounds good with standard tuning.
C (032010)
C 2 (032013) -----------------> in the bridge
G (320033) ------------------| in the verse & chorus
G 2 (320013) ------------------| in the intro & bridge
G/E (055410) ------------------| before chorus
F/E (033210)
Dm (xx0231)
Am7 (002213) ------------------| in the intro & verse
Am (002210) ------------------| in the chorus
If you have trouble playing or remembering the chords, you can also play the standard
still sounds good. but Brian Fallon plays it the way I tabed it.
Intro:
C G 2 F/E (2x) played very briefly
Am7 F/E (2x)
[G]
Verse:
So the ambulances[Am7] came
They took your [Dm]pulse and packed up your[G] things
And the papers [Am7]read
Some boys [C]forget what the heart it b[G]rings
And the pounding in the st[Am7]reet
Was your [Dm]heart in four four t[G]ime
And the taste of de[Am7]feat
Was was ne[C]ver too f[G]ar from your m[F/E]ind[G/E]
Chorus:
And M[Am]aria came from [F/E]Nashville with a su[C]itcase in her h[G]and
I always [Am]kinda sorta w[F/E]ished I looked like [C]Elvis[G]
And in my [Am]head there's all these [F/E]classic cars and [C]outlaw cowboy b[G]ands
I always [Am]kinda sorta w[F/E]ish I'm someone [C]else[G]
Verse:
So gravity [Am7]came
And stole the [Dm]temple that the schoolboys [G]praised
And the crowd shuffled[Am7] in
You're getting [C]drinks for the same boys
Who[G] once bought you everyt[Am7]hing
And the patter on the bar[Dm]
Was just this one[G] time
The patter on [Am7]the bar
Was just this [C]one night
[G]Only to get [F/E]by[G/E]
Chorus:
And M[Am]aria came from [F/E]Nashville with a su[C]itcase in her h[G]and
I always [Am]kinda sorta w[F/E]ished I looked like [C]Elvis[G]
And in my [Am]head there's all these [F/E]classic cars and [C]outlaw cowboy b[G]ands
I always [Am]kinda sorta w[F/E]ish I'm someone [C]else[G]
Bridge:
[Am7] There were Southern acce[C]nt[2]s[G][2]
On the [Am7]radio As I drove h[C]om[2]e[G][2]
And at [Am7]night I wake up with the sheets soaking wet
It's a p[C]re[2]tty good song Maybe [G]yo[2]u know the rest
[Am7] Maybe you [C]kn[2]ow the rest[G]
Chorus:
And M[Am]aria came from [F/E]Nashville with a su[C]itcase in her h[G]and
I always [Am]kinda sorta w[F/E]ished I looked like [C]Elvis[G]
And in my [Am]head there's all these [F/E]classic cars and [C]outlaw cowboy b[G]ands
I always [Am]kinda sorta w[F/E]ish I'm someone [C]else[G]
When our b[Am]oots they hit the [F/E]ground {
C G {
They made a high and lonesome sound { 3x
When our b[Am]oots they hit the [F/E]ground
They made a [C]high, a h[G]igh and lonesome [Am]sound
