High And Mighty

A                          G      
The roots grow down to the river, 
D              A
seed from long ago.

A                   G            
And when I say from long ago, I 
         D       G    A
mean from ever so long ago.

E
Yo


A                      G          
Roots grow down to the river, they
 D                     A
 go to bank a sideways tree.

A                      G         
Big old witness to the Civil War,
         D        G          A
 getting ready to float down stream.



E                 G              
But that's right, ready to float 
    A
down stream.

E            G              
Not tonight, hanging on to the 
   A      E
dream.

A        G                   D  
You say, don't ya come at me 
                    A
like your all high and mighty.

A      G       D                 G  
G#  A (walk it up)
I say, mighty, no, but defiantly 
high.

A        G          D           
You say, we should, pack and 
                 A
move away from this place.

A      G       D                    
    G  G#  A (walk it up)
I say, let me, uncork another bottle
 of wine.



A    G    E     G  Repeat 4x
oh oh oh uhhhhhh

A                      G         
Roots grow down to the river, 
         D                    A
where your grandmamma said don't go.

A                                
She said, "You might fall in the 
G              D          
water, and get sucked in the 
   G   A
undertow."

E
No

A                      G         
Roots grow down to the river, so 
D                              A
quite you can hear that snake cough.

A                                 
Then your granddaddy picked it up 
    G                       D     
and cracked it like a whip, 
       G          A
snapped it's head clean off.



E                 G              
But that's right, ready to float

A                             G  
And the one next door and the one
