[Intro]x 2
G C  G G D G

(Verse 1)
G                      C      G
Across the street from Mables store
              D            G
Underneath my daddy's car- port
               C           G
If you knew at least three chords
          Em            D         G
You could come and play all night long
Em                  G
Flattop Mandolin or anything with strings
Em                    D
Every single Saturday you could hear us sing

[Chorus]
G            C         G
High and Low Rough and Sweet
                                     D
And if you couldn't play you brought something to eat
G                     C        G
Folks would come from miles a- round
                              D            G
It gets in your blood and you can't get it out
Em                                   C
When it steals your heart there aint nothing you can do
      G                        C
There wasn't no money you just sing cause you love to

[Verse 2]
G                C       G
Daddy would sing ring of fire
                       D        G
Someone would play the Wildwood Flower
                       C         G
Fiddles moaning in the wee small hours
        Em                D         G
And you couldn't make the people go home
    Em                          G
I'd sit in mommas lap and she'd rock me asleep
      Em                    D
To A- mazing Grace in three part harmony

[Chorus]
G            C         G
High and Low Rough and Sweet
                                     D
And if you couldn't play you brought something to eat
G                     C        G
Folks would come from miles a- round
                              D            G
It gets in your blood and you can't get it out
Em                                   C
When it steals your heart there aint nothing you can do
      G                        C                      G
There wasn't no money you just sing cause you love to

[Bridge]
F       Am             G                     D
I carry in my soul the music from my younger days
F              Em                D C             BmAm
And try to re- member every time I hit the stage

G            C         G
High and Low Rough and Sweet
                                    D
And if I wasn't getting paid I'd be doing it for free
G                     C        G
Folks would come from miles a- round
                         D            G
It got in my blood and I can't get it out
Em                                    C
When it steals your heart there ain't nothing you can do
             G                                      C  GC
Lord I don't sing for the money I sing cause I love to
G                                 C
Lord I don't sing for the money I sing cause I love to -----
