[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][G][Dm][D]
[Dm][D][Dm][A][G][D]
[Dm][D]

[Verse 1]
Well my [D]heart's in [Dm]The Highlands,
gentle and [D]fair[Dm]
Honey[D]suckle blooming in
the wildwood [G]air
Bluebells blazing where the
Aberdeen waters [D]flow
Well my [A]heart's in The Highlands
I'm gonna [G]go there when I feel
good enough to [D]go

[Verse 2]
Windows [D]were shaking all
night in my dreams
Everything was [Dm]exactly [D]the
way that [G]it seems
Woke up this mornin' and I looked
at the same old [D]page[A]
Same old rat race,
[G]life in the same old cag[D]e
[Dm]I don't want nothin' from anyone,
[D]ain[Dm]'t that much to take[D][Dm][D]
Wouldn't know [Dm]the difference between
[D]a real blonde and a f[G]ake
Feel like a prisoner in a world of mys[D]tery
I [A]wish someone'd come [G]and
push back the clock for [D]me

[Verse 3]
[D]
Well my heart's in The Highlands
wherever I roam
That's where I'll be when
I get called [G]home
The wind it whispers to the
buckeye trees of [D]rhyme
Well, my [A]heart's in The Highlands
I can [G]only get there one step at [D]a time
I'm listening to [Dm]Neil Young,
[D]I g[Dm]otta turn up the sound[D]
[Dm]Some[D]one's always yellin'
"Turn it [G]down"
Feel like I'm driftin',
driftin' from scene [D]to scene[A]
I'm wonderin' what in the devil
[G]could it all possibly [D]mean

[Verse 4]
Insanity [D]is smashin' up against my soul
You could say I was on anything but a [G]roll
If I had a conscience,
well I just might blow my [D]top[A]
What would I do with it anyway,
[G]maybe take it to the pawn sho[D]p?
[Dm]My heart's in The High
[D]lands at the break of dawn
By the beautiful lake of the Black [G]Swan
Big white clouds like chariots
that swing down [D]low
Well my [A]heart's in The Highlands,
[G]only place left to go
[D]

[Verse 5]
I'm in Boston town in some restaurant
I got no idea what I [G]want
Or maybe I do but I'm just
really not [D]sure[A]
Waitress comes over,
[G]nobody in the place but me and her[D]
Well it must be a holiday,
there's nobody [Dm]around[D]
She studies me closely as I sit [G]down
She got a pretty face and long
white shiny legs
[D]

[Verse 6]
I said "Tell [A]me what I [G]want"
She say "You probably want
hard [D]boiled eggs"
I said "That's right, bring me some"
She says "We ain't got any,
you picked the wrong time [G]to come"
Then she says "I know you're an artist,
draw a picture [D]of me"
I said "I [A]would if I could [G]but
I don't do sketches from [D]memory"
Well she's there,
she says "I'm right here in front of you

[Verse 7]
Or haven't you looked?"
[D]
I say "All right, I know but I don't
have my drawin' [G]book"
She gives me a napkin,
she say "You can do it on [D]that"[A]
I say "Yes I could [G]but I don't
know where my pencil is [D]at"
She pulls one out from behind her ear
She says "Alright now go ahead draw
me I'm stayin' right [G]here"
I make a few lines and I show
it for her [D]to see
Well she takes the nap[A]kin and
throws it back and [G]says

[Interlude 3]
"That don't look a thing like me"
[D]

[Verse 8]
[Dm]I said "Oh kind miss,
[D]it most certainly does"
She say "You must be joking",
I said "I wish I was"
[G]She says "You don't read
women authors do ya?"
At least that's what I
think I hear [D]her say
Well I say [A]"How would you know,
[G]and what would it matter any[D]way?"
Well she says "Ya just don't
seem like ya do"
I said "You're way wrong"
She says "Which ones have you read then?",
I say "Read Erica Jong"
[G]She goes away for a minute,
and I slide out, out of my [D]chair
I step out[A]side back to the busy street,
[G]but nobody's goin' anywhere
[D]

[Verse 9]
Well my heart's in The High[Dm]lands
[D]with the horses and hounds
Way up in the border country
far from the [G]towns
With the twang of the arrow
and the snap of [D]the bow
My [A]heart's in The Highlands,
[G]can't see any other way to go[D]
Every day is the same thing, out the door
Feel further away than ever before
[G]Some things in life it just
gets too late to [D]learn
Well I'm lost [A]somewhere,
[G]I must have made a few bad turns

[Interlude 4]
[D]
I see [Dm]people in the park,

[Verse 10]
[Dm]
[D]forgettin' their troubles and woes
They're drinkin' and dancin',
wearin' bright colored [G]clothes
All the young men with the young
women lookin' so [D]good
Well, I'd trade [A]places with any of 'em,
[G]in a minute if I cou[D]ld
I'm crossin' the street to get
away from a mangy dog
Talkin' to myself in [G]a monologue
I think what I need might be a
full-length leather leather [D]coat
[A]Somebody just asked me [G]if

[Interlude 5]
I'm registered to vote
[D]
[Dm]The sun [D]is beginnin'

[Verse 11]
to shine on me
But it's not like the sun that
used to [G]be
The party's over and there's
less and less to [D]say[A]
I got new eyes,
[G]everything looks far awa[D]y
Well my heart's in The Highlands
at the break of day
Over the hills and far [G]away
There's a way to get there,
and I'll figure it out somehow
[D]Well I'm alr[A]eady there in my min[G]d

[Outro 1]
and that's good enough for now
[D]
