High Country

D Dadd4  X4


[Verse 1]
D
Honey pack your bags, grab your old 
blue jeans
      C                     G     
We're gonna go fishin' in a 
           D
mountain stream
       D
Well I know a little shack way up in
 the hills
C                      G
Twenty five miles from Harrietville
            D
In the high country


[Verse 2]
D
Honey you should see all the stars 
up there
     C                          
They shine so bright through the 
 G            D
cold night air
    D
I'm gonna build you a fire that'll 
burn real hot
         C                    G
And I'll stay with you at the old 
camp hut
            D
In the high country


[Chorus]
            A
I've got my four-wheel drive and I'm
 ready to roll
  G
I wanna go flyin' up an old dirt 
road
A
Up in the hills where the brumbies 
roam
Continues after the ad
G                                 
This land must surely be God's own
Gsus4

            D        C             
In the high country,   in the high 
D
country, yeah


[Verse 3]
       D
In the drought of eighteen eighty 
two
    C                     G    
The Maddisons brought the cattle 
          D
through
     D
From Mountain Creek to the Staircase
 Spur
      C                            
We'll follow the tracks where they 
G
pushed the herd
               D
Up to the high country


[Chorus 2]
               A
Oh I've got my four-wheel drive and 
I'm ready to roll
  G
I wanna go flyin' up an old dirt 
road
A
Up in the hills where the snow gums 
stand
        G                          
You can see forever across this 
    Gsus4
land
            D               C
In the high country, that's where I 
wanna be
G
Walkin' with you by a mountain 
stream
D                   A
High country that's where I wanna go
G
Got my bags packed, I'm ready to 
roll
