 Subject: HIGH ON A HILLTOP
 HIGH ON A HILLTOP
 Recorded by Merle Haggard
 Words and music by Tommy Collins
 [D] High on a hilltop over-[G] looking the [D] city
 I can see the [A7] bright lights as they [D] gleam [A7]  
 And [D] somewhere you're dancing in [G] some dingy [D] barroom
 And the lure of the gayness takes the [A7] place of our [D] dream.
 
 CHORUS
 [G] High on a hilltop my heart cries, Oh [D] Lord
 Forgive her she knows not the [A7] way
 And [D] give me the power to be-[G] lieve and some [D] day
 High on a hilltop to-[A7] gether we'll [D] pray.
 
 I can vision a rounder with a line so smooth
 And a promise of riches for you
 But you see not the danger, 'cause you're silly with booze
 And high on a hilltop I see the devil win you.
 
 CHORUS
