Low Life in High Places Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Mama tell your children not to go
Down to the city where the
desperate people go
And mama don't you let
them stray
They won't find piece of mind

[Verse 2]
in such a lonely place
[Dm]Wannabes and l[G]osers all
[Dm]trying to get [G]a break
[C]They don't give a damn
they'll [F]do [G]whatever it [Dm]takes
[D]If they climb the[G] ladder they get to
[Em]play for higher [F]stakes
That's why [C]there's low
[Bb]life in high [F]places

[Verse 3]
[Am]Mama things have changed since
you were young
When you scream in the dead of night
Now no one ever comes
And the poor man,
he's cast as the [Dm]villain an[Am]d the thief
See him down on the street

[Verse 4]
begging for enough to eat
[Dm]Waiting on t[D]he c[G]orner,
I saw her [Dm]waiting for the [G]man
[C]When the limo pulled up I s[F]aw what[G]
was changing hand[Dm]s
I should've [D]tried [G]to warn her
and [Em]make her understand
[F]There is low[C] lif[Bb]e in high pla[F]ces

[Verse 5]
There is [F]low [G]life like you
[Am]never even knew
There is [F]low [G]life and it [Dm]lives
in me and [D]you
But we [Dm]don't all let [G]it
[Em]through[Am]

[Verse 6]
Don't you let [Dm]'em go,
[Am]you'[Dm]ve go[Am]t to have some pity[Dm][G][Am]
Don't you let 'em [Dm]go
[Am]You've got to [Dm]keep 'em away from

[Interlude 1]
the big bad city
[F][G][Am][Dm][Em]
[F][G][C][G]

[Verse 7]
[Dm]Waiting on the c[G]orner,
I saw her [Dm]waiting for [G]the man
[C]When the limo pulled up I s[F]aw what[G]
was changing [Dm]hands
I should've tried [G]to warn her and [Em]make
her [F]understand

[Interlude 2]
[F][C][Am]
[Bb][F][G]

[Verse 8]
[Am]Mama tell your children not to go
Down to the city where
the desperate people go
And mama don't you let them stray
They won't find piece of mind
in such a [Am]lonely place
