  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
