HIGH HORSE (Emily Saliers)
-------------------------- 

[I've written the chords to this 
song as if it's played in Am with a 
capo
 on the 5th fret.  It may actually 
have been played in Bm (capo 3) or 
in
 Dm (no capo).]
[Each chord is half a measure, 
except the chords in parentheses
 are short, about a quarter note.]

[intro]

Am             Em          
  You had your chance to show 
      Am     Em
affection
Am               Em           
  You had your chance to give me 
    Am   Em
more
Am             Em           
  And now that she's found new 
      Am     Em
direction
    (Ebm)     Dm  Dm          E   E
You make your way to my back door

Am                 Em            
  What makes you think the whole 
      Am       Em
world wants you
Am             Em                
  Give steel a kiss and it will 
Am     Em
bend
Am             Em                 
  The flesh is weak, but when it 
Am              Em
all is said and done
    (Ebm)    Dm         Dm       
The spirit's all that's left in 
   Esus  E
the end

If you have to saddle your high

Am          Am              Em  
  Go on and ride out of my (ride
           Em  (Ebm)
 out of my sight)
Dm          Dm               G  
  You never had the time of day 
      G
for me, no
C             C              
  And now you want to spend the 
    E    E
night

C                     C          
  You're big with the come-on 
       E             E
like it's no big deal (no big deal 
to you)
Am             Am                 
  You let the wild wind blow your 
 Em                  Em
(wild wind blow your course)
(Ebm) Dm              Dm        
  I   do not want the dirt from 
       G               G
your shoes or from the hooves
       Am  Em   Am  Em   Am  Em
Of your high horse
   Am  Em


The way I see it, there are few 
things left
To hold on to and keep your head, 
yeah
And it's your sense of humor and 
integrity (??)
There's nothing funny about what's 
being said

And there was a day when I would let
 myself be trampled
As long as it was done by you (as 
long as it was done by you)
But I took so much abuse, now I've 
had ample
There's no way that you'll break 
through

If you have to saddle your high 
horse
Go on and ride out of my (ride out 
of my sight)
You never had the time of day for 
me, no
And now you want to spend the night

You're big with the come-on like 
it's no big deal (no big deal to 
you)
You let the wild wind blow your 
(wild wind blow your course)
I do not want the dirt from your 
shoes or from the hooves
Of your high horse

[guitar solo, Am & Em]

You had your chance to show (you had
 your chance to show me some 
affection)
You had your chance to (you had your
 chance to give me more, baby)
Now that she's found (now that your 
girl found new direction)
You make your way to my back door

What makes you think the whole world
 wants you, oh yeah
Give steel a kiss and it will bend, 
baby
The flesh is weak, but when it's all
 been said and done
The spirit's all that's left in the 
end, yeah

If you have to saddle your high 
horse
You go on and ride out of my (ride 
out of my sight)
You never had the time of day for 
me, no you didn't
And now you want to spend the night

You're big with the come-on like 
it's no big deal (no big deal to 
you)
You let the wild wind blow your 
(wild wind blow your course)
I do not want the dirt from your 
shoes or from the hooves
Of your high horse
I do not want the dirt from your 
shoes or from the hooves
Of your high horse, high horse
From your high horse, high horse
From your high horse, yeah   [end on
 Am]
