I:
E A
I've been down so low
E B7
Bottom looked like up
E B
Once I felt like second saves
A E
Was enough to fill my cup
E A
Now I offered all I had
E A
But it ain't no way to live
E
Being taken by the ones who have
A B7
the least amount to give
E A E A
Singing Hi-de-ho, hi-de-hi,
E A E A
Gonna get me a piece of the sky
E A E A
Gonna get me some of that old sweet roll...
E A E B7

II:
E A
Once I met the devil -
E B7
he was mighty slick
E B
Tempted me with worldly goods
A E
Said I could have my pick
E A
But when he laid the paper on me
E A
And showed me where to sign
E
I said, "Thank you very kindly
A B7
But I'm in too great a need of mine"
E A E A
Singing hi-de-ho, hi-de-hi
E A E A
Gonna get me a piece o' that sky
E A E A
Gonna find me some o' that old sweet roll
