Levon Helm - High Walls
 
 
## NOTE: ~ ~ = Walk-Down from C to G ##
 
 
CAPO: 4th Fret
 
 
 
INTRO: G
 
                               C
They got the Younger brothers
                           G
They got plenty of others
 
Fool enough to cower and crawl
Em           D         C  ~ ~    G       C-G
Shackled and chained behind high walls
 
 
                                            C
They say I've made more widows and orphans
                               G
Enough to fill twenty coffins
 
They won't hear my side at all
              Em       D     C  ~ ~    G      G-F
Guess they'll lock me away behind high walls
 
 
CHORUS:
                           F-C
If sixteen grains of morphine
                               C-G
Could just a-wipe the slate clean
                                      F
Then you know I would take it all
                                   F-C
But rotting in the state of Minnesota
                               C-G
Sweating on a chain gang road, ah
                        D
The hell, I cannot take that
 
 
INSTRUMENTAL: G   C   G   Em   D   C ~ ~ G   G-F
 
 
CHORUS:
                          F-C
If sixteen grains of morphine
                               C-G
Could just a-wipe the slate clean
                                      F
Then you know I would take it all
                                   F-C
But rotting in the state of Minnesota
                               C-G
Sweating on a chain gang road, ah
                        D
The hell, I cannot take that
 
 
                                      C
Frank, they'll never catch us alive
                              G
Not with my will to survive
 
We'll run until they stumble and fall
        Em            D     C  ~ ~    G      C ~ ~ G
I shall never spend a day behind high walls

Great Job.. I started to work this out myself the other day I came so close thank you for your hard work! A few minor lyric corrections from "Put just a wife to sleep," Correction to "Could just wipe the slate clean CHORUS: (Should be) If sixteen grains of morphine C-G could just wipe the slate clean F Then you know I would take it all F-C But rotting in the state of Minnesota C-G Sweating on a chain gang road awe D hell, I cannot take that

Capo to fit your Voice.. I found I dont need it at all since I have a female Alto voice PS I think..instead of "Yet they'll lock me away behind high walls" it should be "Just lock me away behind high walls"
