Old And In The Way - High Lonesome Sound Chords

[Intro]
A    E    A

[Verse 1]
               A
Well, get your father, get your mother, get your sister, 
                                             E
Get your brother, Aunt Lucy gonna show Uncle John,
E                                                     E7
How to do the boogie-woogie, while the kissin cousins chasin chicken, 
                    A
Out on the old back lawn
A
Y'all come with one another, Just to go a little further, 
                            E
If this old bus don't break down
E                        E7
Camp fire's burnin and tonight my heart is yearnin, 
                               A
For the sight of that old camp ground.


[Chorus]
         D             A
And that high lonesome sound
          D                E
When that evening sun goes down
        D               A
I'll be crawling on the ground
                A                E             A
When I hear the fiddle play that high lonesome sound
                A                E             A



[Verse 2]
A
Well bring along your lawn chair, or sitting in the thresher,
                                          E
And the cooler full of beer and watch the show
E                                     E7
There's clog dancing, horses prancin, syncopated music playin, 
                                   A
Girls are looking pretty don't you know
A
Look at old Gran Pappy, he's feelin kind of snappy, 
                         E
Seems like he just don't care
E                          E7
That he's over 93, he's as spry as you or me, 
                            A 
Dancing to the music in the air



[Chorus]
         D             A
Its that high lonesome sound
          D                E
When that evening sun goes down
        D               A
I'll be crawling on the ground
                A                E             A
When I hear the fiddle play that high lonesome sound
A                                E             A


[Instrumental]
Banjo and Mandolin solos
Play verse guitar 1 time through


[Verse 3]
A
Well, young ones, old ones, looking like they're having fun, 
                    E
Enjoyin the country view
E                                          E7
Tellin jokes to all the folks bout how The Watergate got broke-in, 
                   A
How this grass got blue
A                                                             E
Hey Mister Fiddle Man, play us all a little jam, now, now-now-now
E                                     E7
And that's the way Monroe sound, when Penn taught him to play, 
                        A
Riding on the back of a mule


[Chorus]
         D             A
Its that high lonesome sound
          D                E
When that evening sun goes down
        D               A
I'll be crawling on the ground
                A                E             A
When I hear the fiddle play that high lonesome sound
                A                E             A
                A                E             A
I hear the fiddle play that high lonesome sound
                A                E             A
                A                E             A
I hear the fiddle play that high lonesome sound
                A                E             A
                A                E             A
I hear the fiddle play that high lonesome sound
