about

The single High Water was written as a tribute to the late great Glen Campbell, the song tells Glens story and you can hear the Glen Campbell sound in this beautiful Nashville recorded tune. Glen was quoted as saying " "When I got to L.A and started playing with those studio musicians I was floating on High Water". Larrabee new that had to be the hook and wrote the song in literally a few hours.

lyrics

G A dirt poor C share D7 croppers G son
G Way down C in C/G Arkansas
G learned to play his D7 music C on
Am a five C dollar G guitar

G he played C when the D7 work was G done
G sitting & picking C with his G Pa
G Soon the city D7 lights were C calling
G and they sure liked C what they G saw

Chorus
C Now the boy from D7 Arkensas
F headed down the C road to LA
F just floating on D7 high water
F Yah that's what I D heard him say
F just floating on D7 high water
F a rhinestone cowboy's on C his way
F - D7 - F - C

G No City C could D7 ever G hold him
G soon he was out C on the G road
G shot up all those D7 charts so C fast
Am gave him C his own G tv show

G We all C know how D7 it turns G out
G after C the wealth G and fame
G The white hot lights D7 they have C to dim
G time always put's C out the G flame

Chorus
C Now the boy from D7 Arkensas
F headed down the C road to LA
F just floating on D7 high water
F Yah that's what I D heard him say
F just floating on D7 high water
F a rhinestone cowboy's on C his way
F He's floating on D7 high water
F ya that's what I D heard him say
Tag:
F He's Floating on D7 high water
F a rhinestone cowboys C on his way
