It's played with a country/bluegrass feel of course
[Intro]
A E A
[Verse 1]
A
Well, get your father, get your mother, get your sister,
E
Get your brother, Aunt Lucy gonna show Uncle John,
E E7
How to do the boogie-woogie, while the kissin cousins chasin chicken,
A
Out on the old back lawn
A
Y'all come with one another, Just to go a little further,
E
If this old bus don’t break down
E E7
Camp fire's burnin and tonight my heart is yearnin,
A
For the sight of that old camp ground.
[Chorus]
D A
And that high lonesome sound
D E
When that evening sun goes down
D A
I’ll be crawling on the ground
A E A
When I hear the fiddle play that high lonesome sound
A E A
[Verse 2]
A
Well bring along your lawn chair, or sitting in the thresher,
E
And the cooler full of beer and watch the show
E E7
There’s clog dancing, horses prancin, syncopated music playin,
A
Girls are looking pretty don’t you know
A
Look at old Gran Pappy, he’s feelin kind of snappy,
E
Seems like he just don’t care
E E7
That he’s over 93, he’s as spry as you or me,
A
Dancing to the music in the air
[Chorus]
D A
Its that high lonesome sound
D E
When that evening sun goes down
D A
I’ll be crawling on the ground
A E A
When I hear the fiddle play that high lonesome sound
A E A
[Instrumental]
Banjo and Mandolin solos
Play verse guitar 1 time through
[Verse 3]
A
Well, young ones, old ones, looking like they’re having fun,
E
Enjoyin the country view
E E7
Tellin jokes to all the folks bout how The Watergate got broke-in,
A
How this grass got blue
A E
Hey Mister Fiddle Man, play us all a little jam, now, now-now-now
E E7
And that’s the way Monroe sound, when Penn taught him to play,
A
Riding on the back of a mule
[Chorus]
D A
Its that high lonesome sound
D E
When that evening sun goes down
D A
I’ll be crawling on the ground
A E A
When I hear the fiddle play that high lonesome sound
A E A
A E A
I hear the fiddle play that high lonesome sound
A E A
A E A
I hear the fiddle play that high lonesome sound
A E A
A E A
I hear the fiddle play that high lonesome sound
