******************* I HAD MY HOPES UP HIGH ********************
written and performed by Joe Ely.
Capo on the 1st fret.
Verse 1:
E
Well i left my home out on the great High Plains
Headed for some new terrain
Standin' on the highway with my coffee cup
A 'wonderin' who was gonna pick me up
Chorus:
A E
I had my hopes up high,i never thought that i
B A
Would ever wonder why i ever said goodbye
B E
I had my hopes up high
Verse 2:
E
Well,the first ride i got was in a dynamite truck
The driver kept a' tellin' me his bad luck
As we swerved around the curves i began to shout
Hey-ey mister would you let me out
Chorus.
Verse 3:
E
And the next ride i got was with a man in trouble
The beard on his face was all in a stubble
Runnin' from the law he was goin' ninety-nine
I said hey-ey mister you're out of your mind
Chorus.
Verse 4:
E
Oh,the next ride i got was with a preacher man
Told me that the wicked would be buried in sand
Don't know why i did it but i lost control
Hey-ey Papa would you save my soul
Chorus.
Verse 5:
E
And i finally got a ride on a carnival train
Nearly blew away in a hurricane
I got to thinkin' 'bout that preacher down in Louisiane
Sittin' on the Delta siftin' sand
Chorus.
E B
I never thought that i
Would ever wonder why i ever said goodbye
E
I had my hopes up high
