High Horse Tablatura

	  HIGH HORSE (Emily Saliers) 
-------------------------- 
{I've written the chords to this song as if it's played in Am with a capo 
 on the 5th fret.  It may actually have been played in Bm () or in 
 Dm (no capo).} 
{Each chord is half a measure, except the chords in parentheses 
 are short, about a quarter note.}

{intro} 
 
Am             Em                Am     Em 
  You had your chance to show affection 
Am               Em               Am   Em 
  You had your chance to give me more 
Am             Em                 Am     Em 
  And now that she's found new direction 
    (Ebm)     Dm  Dm          E   E 
You make your way to my back door 
 
Am                 Em                  Am       Em 
  What makes you think the whole world wants you 
Am             Em                Am     Em 
  Give steel a kiss and it will bend 
Am             Em                 Am              Em 
  The flesh is weak, but when it all is said and done 
    (Ebm)    Dm         Dm          Esus  E 
The spirit's all that's left in the end 
 
C              C            E     E 
If you have to saddle your high horse 
Am          Am              Em             Em  (Ebm)
  Go on and ride out of my (ride out of my sight) 
Dm          Dm               G        G 
  You never had the time of day for me, no 
C             C                  E    E 
  And now you want to spend the night 
 
C                     C                 E             E 
  You're big with the come-on like it's no big deal (no big deal to you) 
Am             Am                  Em                  Em 
  You let the wild wind blow your (wild wind blow your course) 
(Ebm) Dm              Dm               G               G 
  I   do not want the dirt from your shoes or from the hooves 
       Am  Em   Am  Em   Am  Em   Am  Em 
Of your high horse 
 
The way I see it, there are few things left 
To hold on to and keep your head, yeah 
And it's your sense of humor and integrity (??) 
There's nothing funny about what's being said 
 
And there was a day when I would let myself be trampled 
As long as it was done by you (as long as it was done by you) 
But I took so much abuse, now I've had ample 
There's no way that you'll break through 
 
If you have to saddle your high horse 
Go on and ride out of my (ride out of my sight) 
You never had the time of day for me, no 
And now you want to spend the night 
 
You're big with the come-on like it's no big deal (no big deal to you) 
You let the wild wind blow your (wild wind blow your course) 
I do not want the dirt from your shoes or from the hooves 
Of your high horse 
 
{guitar solo, Am & Em} 
 
You had your chance to show (you had your chance to show me some affection) 
You had your chance to (you had your chance to give me more, baby) 
Now that she's found (now that your girl found new direction) 
You make your way to my back door 
 
What makes you think the whole world wants you, oh yeah 
Give steel a kiss and it will bend, baby 
The flesh is weak, but when it's all been said and done 
The spirit's all that's left in the end, yeah 
 
If you have to saddle your high horse 
You go on and ride out of my (ride out of my sight) 
You never had the time of day for me, no you didn't 
And now you want to spend the night 
 
You're big with the come-on like it's no big deal (no big deal to you) 
You let the wild wind blow your (wild wind blow your course) 
I do not want the dirt from your shoes or from the hooves 
Of your high horse 
I do not want the dirt from your shoes or from the hooves 
Of your high horse, high horse 
From your high horse, high horse 
From your high horse, yeah   {end on Am}
