Hey here's an acoustic version of High Lonesome.
have fun and feel free to comment. I saw Brian Fallon playing this one somewhere
on you tube. Should be pretty much accurate.
Brian tuned everything half step down, but still sounds good with standard tuning.
C (032010)
C 2 (032013) -----------------> in the bridge
G (320033) ------------------| in the verse & chorus
G 2 (320013) ------------------| in the intro & bridge
G/E (055410) ------------------| before chorus
F/E (033210)
Dm (xx0231)
Am7 (002213) ------------------| in the intro & verse
Am (002210) ------------------| in the chorus
If you have trouble playing or remembering the chords, you can also play the
standard chords, still sounds good. but Brian Fallon plays it the way I tabed it.
please rate and feel free to correct

G/E
Verse:
Am7
So the ambulances came
Dm G
They took your pulse and packed up your things
Am7
And the papers read
C G
Some boys forget what the heart it brings
Am7
And the pounding in the street
Dm G
Was your heart in four four time
Am7
And the taste of defeat
C G F/E G/E
Was was never too far from your mind
Chorus:
Am F/E C G
And Maria came from Nashville with a suitcase in her hand
Am F/E C G
I always kinda sorta wished I looked like Elvis
Am F/E C G
And in my head there's all these classic cars and outlaw cowboy bands
Am F/E C G
I always kinda sorta wish I'm someone else
Verse:
Am7
So gravity came
Dm G
And stole the temple that the schoolboys praised
Am7
And the crowd shuffled in
C
You're getting drinks for the same boys
G Am7
Who once bought you everything
Dm
And the patter on the bar
G
Was just this one time
Am7
The patter on the bar
C
Was just this one night
G F/E G/E
Only to get by
Chorus:
Am F/E C G
And Maria came from Nashville with a suitcase in her hand
Am F/E C G
I always kinda sorta wished I looked like Elvis
Am F/E C G
And in my head there's all these classic cars and outlaw cowboy bands
Am F/E C G
I always kinda sorta wish I'm someone else
Bridge:
Am7 C 2 G 2
There were Southern accents
Am7 C 2 G 2
On the radio As I drove home
Am7
And at night I wake up with the sheets soaking wet
C 2 G 2
It's a pretty good song Maybe you know the rest
Am7 C 2 G
Maybe you know the rest
Chorus:
Am F/E C G
And Maria came from Nashville with a suitcase in her hand
Am F/E C G
I always kinda sorta wished I looked like Elvis
Am F/E C G
And in my head there's all these classic cars and outlaw cowboy bands
Am F/E C G
I always kinda sorta wish I'm someone else
Am F/E
When our boots they hit the ground {
C G {
They made a high and lonesome sound { 3x
Am F/E
When our boots they hit the ground
C G Am
They made a high, a high and lonesome sound
I would end the song on C not on Am but otherwise it's perfect I think.
