how high did you go Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Billy [D]an [G]d h[D]is [G]bi[D]
[G]cycle screamed down [D]the hill
[G]His [D]sch[G]ool buddies yel[D]led out,
you're [G]gonna get killed
[C]Right as [G]his wheels hit the [C]ramp made
of plywood and [G]block[Dm][G]
[D]For [G]a m[D]ome[G]nt in time,
he soared above them
Evil couldn't evil, had nothing on him
He was [C]brave and foolish,
[G]you[C]ng and carefree he was lau[G]nched
Flyin' [D]over a ditch that was too
[C]wide to be jumped [G]across
When he [C]fi nally came [G]down,
[D]cra[G]shed into the gro[D]und[G]
It [C]wasn't the stars that [G]he saw or [D]how hard
that [Em]he fell that [D]they wanted to know
[C]They all[D] gathered round and said, tel[C]l us,
how high did you [G]go?[D][G][D][G][D][G]
The whole town said
Billy would never get far
[D]When [G]he [D]cli[G]mbed on
a greyhound with his
old guitar
But he [C]hopped off in
[G]Nashville, [C]cau[G]ght a son[C]g
Headed straight to [G]the top[D][Em]
[D]He [G]thought as he sang on the
Grand
Ole
[D]Opry
[G]Hank [D]sen[G]ior and juniors
got nothing on me
He was [C]fresh, had the look, had a hit,
had a hat, he [G]was hot[F][Em]
[D]Flying up the new country cha[C]rts
until it all went [G]pop[D][G][D]
[G]When he [C]fi nally came [G]down,
[D]cra[G]shed back into tow[D]n[G]
It [C]wasn't the stars that [G]he saw or how [D]hard
that he [Em]felt that [D]they wanted to [C]know
They [D]all gathered round and said,
[C]tell us, how high did you [G]go?[D][G][D]
[G]How [C]high did you [G]go?[D][G][D][G]
So [C]all you big dreamers and
[G]disheartened [D]schemers
Who [Em]find yourselves [D]back in [C]the hole
Skip [D]all the low points and [C]tell us
How high did you [G]go?[D]
[G]All we want to know [D]is [G]how high
[G]did you [Em]go?[C][G][G]
[G]
you
