[Intro]x 2
G C G G D G
(Verse 1)
G C G
Across the street from Mables store
D G
Underneath my daddy's car- port
C G
If you knew at least three chords
Em D G
You could come and play all night long
Em G
Flattop Mandolin or anything with strings
Em D
Every single Saturday you could hear us sing
[Chorus]
G C G
High and Low Rough and Sweet
D
And if you couldn't play you brought something to eat
G C G
Folks would come from miles a- round
D G
It gets in your blood and you can't get it out
Em C
When it steals your heart there aint nothing you can do
G C
There wasn't no money you just sing cause you love to
[Verse 2]
G C G
Daddy would sing ring of fire
D G
Someone would play the Wildwood Flower
C G
Fiddles moaning in the wee small hours
Em D G
And you couldn't make the people go home
Em G
I'd sit in mommas lap and she'd rock me asleep
Em D
To A- mazing Grace in three part harmony
[Chorus]
G C G
High and Low Rough and Sweet
D
And if you couldn't play you brought something to eat
G C G
Folks would come from miles a- round
D G
It gets in your blood and you can't get it out
Em C
When it steals your heart there aint nothing you can do
G C G
There wasn't no money you just sing cause you love to
[Bridge]
F Am G D
I carry in my soul the music from my younger days
F Em D C BmAm
And try to re- member every time I hit the stage
G C G
High and Low Rough and Sweet
D
And if I wasn't getting paid I'd be doing it for free
G C G
Folks would come from miles a- round
D G
It got in my blood and I can't get it out
Em C
When it steals your heart there ain't nothing you can do
G C GC
Lord I don't sing for the money I sing cause I love to
G C
Lord I don't sing for the money I sing cause I love to -----
[Outro] x times and fade
