I HAD MY HOPES UP HIGH
written and performed by Joe Ely.


Capo on the 1st fret.


Verse 1:
      E
	Well i left my home out on the great High Plains

	Headed for some new terrain
	
	Standin' on the highway with my coffee cup
	
	A 'wonderin' who was gonna pick me up


Chorus:
                           A                        E
	I had my hopes up high,i never thought that i
                    B                 A         
	Would ever wonder why i ever said goodbye
                  B        E 
	I had my hopes up high


Verse 2:
      E
	Well,the first ride i got was in a dynamite truck

	The driver kept a' tellin' me his bad luck

	As we swerved around the curves i began to shout

	Hey-ey mister would you let me out

	
Chorus.


Verse 3:
      E 
	And the next ride i got was with a man in trouble

	The beard on his face was all in a stubble

	Runnin' from the law he was goin' ninety-nine

	I said hey-ey mister you're out of your mind


Chorus.


Verse 4:
      E
	Oh,the next ride i got was with a preacher man

	Told me that the wicked would be buried in sand

	Don't know why i did it but i lost control

	Hey-ey Papa would you save my soul


Chorus.


Verse 5:
      E
	And i finally got a ride on a carnival train

	Nearly blew away in a hurricane

	I got to thinkin' 'bout that preacher down in Louisiane

	Sittin' on the Delta siftin' sand


Chorus.

      E           B
	I never thought that i

	Would ever wonder why i ever said goodbye
                           E
	I had my hopes up high
