HIGH HOPES & LOW EXPECTATIONS
As recorded by JD Clayton
(2024 release)
[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
D
I finally found my golden ticket
D
A ferry ride to western skies
A
I left my home and the life I loved
D
To become a man that I could be proud of
D
I sat beside this older fella
D
I guess he saw the fool in me
A
I didn’t pay for his advice
D
But whiskey wisdoms poured out over ice
[Chorus]
G A D Bm
He said, High Hopes & Low Expectations
G A D
That’s what you’ll need to keep movin’ on and headed straight
G A
There’ll be good days and bad days
D C
But ol’ man river keeps on rollin’
A D
Through fields and pines he always finds his way
G
And if you keep on
A D
You’ll do the same
[Verse 2]
D
I shook the hand of the wise old stranger
D
I thanked him for the conversation
A
Then I heard all aboard full steam ahead
D
It’s time to leave for the promised land
[Interlude]
C#m G D A G N.C.
[Verse 3]
D
As times flown by I’ve grown old
D
I rode the backs of my wildest dreams
A
Life didn’t always work out right
D
But you can bet I’ll sure sleep good tonight
[Chorus]
G A D Bm
‘Cause I have High Hopes & Low Expectations
G A D
That’s what it took to keep movin’ on and headed straight
G A
There were good days and bad days
D C
But ol’ man river kept on rollin’
A D
Through fields and pines I always found my way
G A
And if you keep on
N.C.
You’ll do the same
