John Gorka - High Horse
INTRO: C D G Em (2x)
C D
If I come down from my high horse
G Em
And you come down from your hill
C D
I'll ride up from the valley
G Em
From our place by the mill
C D
The neighbourhood's gone quiet
G Em
Since the good jobs have gone
Am D
With the odds against us
C D
Stacked a thousand-to-one
C D
Ohh, everything is changing
G Em
The new jobs don't pay
C D
Our old street is crumbling
G Em
Young ones moving away
C D
So, that's why I called you
G Em
I know you could help
C D
If you were inclined to
G Em Am D
You could swing it yourself
C D
Please do it for Gracie
G Em
Not for my sake
C D
Back then when she chose me
G Em
Maybe she made a mistake
C D G
Now memories are pictures
Em
Scissors, for thoughts
C D
The wars that we're fighting are
G Em Am D
The wars that we fought
C D
I can't change all that happened
G Em
Or the words that I said
C D
Taking on every demon
G Em
I was full speed ahead
C D
You should know this isn't like me
G Em
Or the man I became
C D
Didn't work for my health
G Em Am D
I'd say it's caught up again
G C D
Oh, we did have an estate
G Em
Treatments took that
C D
And I did have my pride
G Em
But that came off with my cap
C D
If I don't hear from you
G Em C
Know that I'll understand
D
I have until the [priest statement]
C D
"She knows you're a good man"
C D
The neighbourhood's gone quiet
G Em
Since the good jobs went south
C D
Went straight through to China
G Em Am
Now it's fingers to mouth
D Am
Fingers
D G
Fingers
