E     A   E     A
Hi-de-ho, hi-de-hi,
E     A        E            A
Gonna get me a piece of the sky
E     A                   E     A
Gonna get me some of that old sweet roll...
        E           A           E  B7
singing hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-ho...

I:

E                 A
I've been down so low
E                  B7
Bottom looked like up
E                B
Once I felt like second saves
A                     E
Was enough to fill my cup
      E             A
Now I offered all I had
       E               A
But it ain't no way to live
E
Being taken by the ones who have 
    A               B7
the least amount to give

CHORUS:

        E     A   E     A
Singing Hi-de-ho, hi-de-hi,
E     A        E            A
Gonna get me a piece of the sky
E     A                   E     A
Gonna get me some of that old sweet roll...
        E           A           E  B7
singing hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-ho...

II:

E              A       
Once I met the devil - 
E             B7
he was mighty slick
E               B
Tempted me with worldly goods
     A               E
Said I could have my pick
            E              A
But when he laid the paper on me
    E                  A
And showed me where to sign
        E
I said, "Thank you very kindly
           A                   B7
But I'm in too great a need of mine"

CHORUS:

        E     A   E     A
Singing hi-de-ho, hi-de-hi
E     A        E             A
Gonna get me a piece o' that sky
E     A               E              A
Gonna find me some o' that old sweet roll
        E           A           E A
Singing Hi de hi de hi de hi de ho
E           A           E A
Hi de hi de hi de hi de ho
              E                 A 
Talking about hi de hi de hi de hi de ho
        E           A           E A
