Run Away High

Intro Am  Em  Fmaj7  C 

 

Am            Em                Fmaj7          C 
Every night's another bar and a bottle in my hand 
Am                        Em               Fmaj7            C 
These cheap cigars, they burn my lungs but I don't give a damn 
Am                    Em          Fmaj7               C 
And all the sins I've made time I oughta be dead by now 
Am         Em                  Fmaj7            C 
I'm going down this road, just keep on headed south 



Am                Em         Fmaj7      C 
'Cause I'm coming down off a run away high 
Am             Em             Fmaj7            C 
These cops are on my tail but I don't really mind 
Am           Em               Fmaj7         C 
'Cause I could be gone in the blink of an eye 
Am                 Em           Fmaj7              C 
So what's one more sin before I reach the by and by 



Am                Em            Fmaj7        C 
I heard she met a good old man down in the sticks 
Am             Em                Fmaj7                C 
He was lookin' sharp as a knife, hell he's probably 36 
Am                  Em        Fmaj7                   C 
Well, he crossed my path so I pulled out my old six-shot 
Am           Em            Fmaj7               C 
Then I put a piece of lead right through his heart 

 

Am                Em         Fmaj7      C 
'Cause I'm coming down off a run away high 
Am             Em             Fmaj7            C 
These cops are on my tail but I don't really mind 
Am            Em              Fmaj7         C 
'Cause I could be gone in the blink of an eye 
Am                 Em           Fmaj7              C 
So what's one more sin before I reach the by and by
