[Intro]
[G]

[G]You fell asleep [G]with your head down
[G]I fell [G]asleep saying please
[G]The banjos and [G]fiddles played breakdowns
[G]And we [G]slept like babies
[G]Out in the bar [G]room you sang songs
[G]Songs from [G]another time
[G]And when you [G]got the words wrong
[G]I woke up [G]and sang your lines
[G]You take the high road - [G]and I'll take the low road
[G]I'll get [G]there before you
[G]We'll make [G]it to Scotland
[G]Or have we forgotten [G]what we're going there for?
[G]You fell in love [G]with your hands out
[G]Your hands made [G]a peace sign
[G]So I fell apart [G]when you pulled out
[G]We ought to [G]try to try
[G]Everything's broken [G]around me
[G]The heather dies [G]when I pass
[G]The sky looks [G]like a foundry
[G]Where my heart [G]is metal cast
[G]You take the high road - [G]and I'll take the low road
[G]I'll get [G]there before you
[G]We'll make [G]it to Scotland
[G]Or have we forgotten [G]what we're going there for?
[G]I'll swim 'cross [G]the coldest sea
[G]In a [G]transatlantic reverie
[G]Just to see your [G]face when I wash up
[G]On the barren [G]shores of Skye
[G]Then to the [G]lowlands we'll fly
[G]Take my hand, [G]walk side by side
[G]Side by side
[G]Jamie, try me
[G]Pour me [G]another I'm dry
[G]Hold on to [G]whatever will be
[G]And we'll raise [G]our glasses high
[G]You take the high road - [G]and I'll take the low road
[G]I'll get [G]there before you
[G]We'll make [G]it to Scotland
[G]Or have we forgotten [G]what we're going there for?
