High Hopes

 C   Am   Dm   G

[Bridge]
  C                              
Next time you’re found, with your 
  A7
chin on the ground,
           Dm                      
there’s a lot to be learned,       
     G7       C       Am  Dm  G
  so look  around !

[Verse 1]

C          Am          Dm
Just what makes that little old ant,
G            G7         C
think he'll move that rubber tree 
plant?
 C               Dm  D7       
Anyone knows an ant can't        
    G                   C
move a rubber tree plant.


[Chorus]
    C7              F             
But he's got       high hopes, 
                C
he's got          high hopes,
                 D         D7     
he's got        high apple pie, in
               G   G7
 the          sky hopes.
        C                          
So any time your feelin' low,      
     C7
    'stead of lettin' go,
F                        D
just remember that ant !
 C           Am    Dm     G
Oops, there goes another rubber

 C                             A7
When troubles call, and your back's 
to the wall,
           Dm                    G
there’s a lot to be learned,    
                 C   Am  Dm  G
that wall could fall.


[Verse 2]
       C          Am    Dm
 Now, once there was a silly old 
ram,
   G          G7      C
thought he'd punch a hole in a dam.
C                      Dm   D7  
No one could make that ram 
     G                     C
scram,    he kept buttin' that dam.


[Chorus]
   C7                F            
'Cause he had       high hopes, he
             C
 had        high hopes,
            D          D7         
 he had    high apple pie, in the 
       G    G7
      sky hopes.
        C                          
So any time you’re feelin' bad,    
      C7
     'stead of lookin' sad,
F                    D
just remember that ram !
 C           Am      Dm     G
Oops, there goes a billion kilowatt,
 C           Am     Dm     G
oops, there goes a billion kilowatt,
 C           Am     Dm     G    
oops, there goes a billion 
        C
kilowatt dam.


[Chorus]
   C7              F              
So he’s got       high hopes, he’s
             C
 got        high hopes,
                 D          D7    
he’s got        high apple pie, in
            G    G7
 the       sky hopes.
                C
All problem’s just a toy balloon,
C7                            
they'll be bursting soon,       
   F                         D
they're just bound to go pop.
 C           Am     Dm        
Oops, there goes another problem 
    G
ker-,
 C          Am    Dm          
oops, there goes another problem 
    G
ker-,
 C          Am     Dm       G   
oops, there goes another problem
             C     G   C
 kerplop, kerplop?
