High Country

D Dadd4  X4


[Verse 1]
D
Honey pack your bags, grab your old blue jeans
      C                     G                D
We're gonna go fishin' in a mountain stream
       D
Well I know a little shack way up in the hills
C                      G
Twenty five miles from Harrietville
            D
In the high country


[Verse 2]
D
Honey you should see all the stars up there
     C                           G            D
They shine so bright through the cold night air
    D
I'm gonna build you a fire that'll burn real hot
         C                    G
And I'll stay with you at the old camp hut
            D
In the high country


[Chorus]
            A
I've got my four-wheel drive and I'm ready to roll
  G
I wanna go flyin' up an old dirt road
A
Up in the hills where the brumbies roam
G                                 Gsus4
This land must surely be God's own
            D        C             D
In the high country,   in the high country, yeah


[Verse 3]
       D
In the drought of eighteen eighty two
    C                     G              D
The Maddisons brought the cattle through
     D
From Mountain Creek to the Staircase Spur
      C                            G
We'll follow the tracks where they pushed the herd
               D
Up to the high country


[Chorus 2]
               A
Oh I've got my four-wheel drive and I'm ready to roll
  G
I wanna go flyin' up an old dirt road
A
Up in the hills where the snow gums stand
        G                              Gsus4
You can see forever across this land
            D               C
In the high country, that's where I wanna be
G
Walkin' with you by a mountain stream
D                   A
High country that's where I wanna go
G
Got my bags packed, I'm ready to roll


[Instrumental]

[Outro]
            A
I've got my four-wheel drive and I'm ready to roll
  G
I wanna go flyin' up an old dirt road
A
Up in the hills where the snow gums stand
        G                              Gsus4
You can see forever across this land
                   D     A   G
