John Gorka - High Horse
INTRO:   C    D    G     Em(2x)
If I Ccome down from my Dhigh horse
And you Gcome down from your Emhill
I'll Cride up from the Dvalley
From Gour place by the Emmill
The Cneighbourhood's gone Dquiet
Since the Ggood jobs have Emgone
With the Amodds aDgainst us
Stacked a Cthousand-to-Done
OhCh, everything is Dchanging
The Gnew jobs don't Empay
Our Cold street is Dcrumbling
Young ones Gmoving aEmway
So, Cthat's why I callDed you
I Gknow you could Emhelp
If Cyou were inDclined to 
You could Gswing it yourEmselfAm  D  
PleCase do it for DGracie
GNot for my sakeEm  
Back Cthen when she Dchose me
Maybe Gshe made a misEmtake
Now Cmemories are DpicturesG  
Scissors, for Emthoughts
The Cwars that we're Dfighting are
The Gwars that we EmfoughtAm  D  
I can't Cchange all that Dhappened
Or the Gwords that I saidEm  
Taking Con every Ddemon
I was Gfull speed aEmhead
You Cshould know this isn't Dlike me
Or the Gman I beEmcame
Didn't Cwork for my healthD  
I'd say it's Gcaught up aEmgainAm  D  
GOh, we Cdid have an Destate
GTreatments took Emthat
And I Cdid have my Dpride
But that came Goff with my capEm  
If CI don't hear from Dyou
Know that GI'll underEmstandC  
I have until the [Dpriest statement]
"She Cknows you're a good Dman"
The Cneighbourhood's gone Dquiet
Since the Ggood jobs went Emsouth
Went sCtraight through to DChina
Now it's Gfingers to EmmouthAm

John Gorka - High Horse

C D G Em

INTRO: (2x)

C D

If I come down from my high horse

G Em

And you come down from your hill

C D

I'll ride up from the valley

G Em

From our place by the mill

C D

The neighbourhood's gone quiet

G Em

Since the good jobs have gone

With the odds against us

C D

Stacked a thousand-to-one

C D

Ohh, everything is changing

The new jobs don't pay

Our old street is crumbling

Young ones moving away

So, that's why I called you

I know you could help

C D

If you were inclined to

G Em Am D

You could swing it yourself

C D

Please do it for Gracie

G Em

Not for my sake

Back then when she chose me

Maybe she made a mistake

C D G

Now memories are pictures

Scissors, for thoughts

C D

The wars that we're fighting are

G Em Am D

The wars that we fought

I can't change all that happened

G Em

Or the words that I said

C D

Taking on every demon

G Em

I was full speed ahead

C D

You should know this isn't like me

G Em

Or the man I became

C D

Didn't work for my health

G Em Am D

I'd say it's caught up again

G C D

Oh, we did have an estate

G Em

Treatments took that

And I did have my pride

G Em

But that came off with my cap

C D

If I don't hear from you

G Em C

Know that I'll understand

I have until the [priest statement]

C D

"She knows you're a good man"

C D

The neighbourhood's gone quiet

Since the good jobs went south

C D

Went straight through to China

G Em Am

Now it's fingers to mouth

D Am
