Verse 1
Well my (D major) heart's in (D minor) The Highlands,
gentle and fair (D major) (D minor)
Honey (D major) suckle blooming in
the wildwood air (G major)
Bluebells blazing where the

I'm gonna (G major) go there when I feel
good enough to go (D major)

Interlude 1
Verse 2
Windows were shaking (D major) all
night in my dreams
Everything was (D minor) exactly (D major) the
way that it seems (G major)
Woke up this mornin' and I looked
at the same old page (D major) (A major)
Same old rat race,
(G major) life in the same old cage (D major)
I don't (D minor) want nothin' from anyone,
(D major) (D minor) ain't that much (D major) to take (D minor) (D major)
Wouldn't know the difference (D minor) between
(D major) a real blonde and a fake (G major)
Feel like a prisoner in a world of mystery (D major)
I wish (A major) someone'd come and (G major)
push back the clock for me (D major)
Verse 3
(D major)
Well my heart's in The Highlands
wherever I roam
That's where I'll be when
I get called home (G major)
The wind it whispers to the
buckeye trees of rhyme (D major)
Well, my (A major) heart's in The Highlands
I can only (G major) get there one step at a time (D major)
I'm listening to (D minor) Neil Young,
(D major) (D minor) I gotta turn up the sound (D major)
(D minor) Someone's (D major) always yellin'
"Turn it down" (G major)
Feel like I'm driftin',
driftin' from scene to scene (D major) (A major)
I'm wonderin' what in the devil
(G major) could it all possibly (D major) mean
Interlude 2
Verse 4
Insanity is smashin' (D major) up against my soul
You could say I was on anything but a roll (G major)
If I had a conscience,
well I just might blow my top (D major) (A major)
What would I do with it anyway,
(G major) maybe take it to the pawn shop? (D major)
(D minor) My heart's in The High
(D major) lands at the break of dawn
By the beautiful lake of the Black Swan (G major)
Big white clouds like chariots
that swing down low (D major)
Well my heart's (A major) in The Highlands,
(G major) only place left to go
(D major)
Verse 5
I'm in Boston town in some restaurant
I got no idea what I want (G major)
Or maybe I do but I'm just
really not sure (D major) (A major)
Waitress comes over,
(G major) nobody in the place but me and her (D major)
Well it must be a holiday,
there's nobody (D minor) around (D major)
She studies me closely as I sit down (G major)
She got a pretty face and long
white shiny legs
(D major)
Verse 6
I said "Tell (A major) me what I want" (G major)
She say "You probably want
hard (D major) boiled eggs"
I said "That's right, bring me some"
She says "We ain't got any,
you picked the wrong time to come" (G major)
Then she says "I know you're an artist,
draw a picture of me" (D major)
I said "I (A major) would if I could but (G major)
I don't do sketches from memory" (D major)
Well she's there,
she says "I'm right here in front of you
Verse 7
Or haven't you looked?"
(D major)
I say "All right, I know but I don't
have my drawin' book" (G major)
She gives me a napkin,
she say "You can do it on that" (D major) (A major)
I say "Yes I could but (G major) I don't
know where my pencil is at" (D major)
She pulls one out from behind her ear
She says "Alright now go ahead draw
me I'm stayin' right here" (G major)
I make a few lines and I show
it for her to see (D major)
Well she takes the nap (A major) kin and
throws it back and says (G major)
Interlude 3
"That don't look a thing like me"
(D major)
Verse 8
(D minor) I said "Oh kind miss,
(D major) it most certainly does"
She say "You must be joking",
I said "I wish I was"
(G major) She says "You don't read
women authors do ya?"
At least that's what I
think I hear her say (D major)
Well I say "How (A major) would you know,
(G major) and what would it matter anyway?" (D major)
Well she says "Ya just don't
seem like ya do"
I said "You're way wrong"
She says "Which ones have you read then?",
I say "Read Erica Jong"
(G major) She goes away for a minute,
and I slide out, out of my chair (D major)
I step out (A major) side back to the busy street,
(G major) but nobody's goin' anywhere
(D major)
Verse 9
Well my heart's in The Highlands (D minor)
(D major) with the horses and hounds
Way up in the border country
far from the towns (G major)
With the twang of the arrow
and the snap of the bow (D major)
My (A major) heart's in The Highlands,
(G major) can't see any other way to go (D major)
Every day is the same thing, out the door
Feel further away than ever before
(G major) Some things in life it just
gets too late to (D major) learn
Well I'm lost (A major) somewhere,
(G major) I must have made a few bad turns
Interlude 4
(D major)
I see (D minor) people in the park,
Verse 10
(D minor)
(D major) forgettin' their troubles and woes
They're drinkin' and dancin',
wearin' bright colored clothes (G major)
All the young men with the young
women lookin' so good (D major)
Well, I'd trade (A major) places with any of 'em,
(G major) in a minute if I could (D major)
I'm crossin' the street to get
away from a mangy dog
Talkin' to myself in a monologue (G major)
I think what I need might be a
full-length leather leather coat (D major)
(A major) Somebody just asked me (G major) if
Interlude 5
I'm registered to vote
(D major)
(D minor) The sun (D major) is beginnin'
Verse 11
to shine on me
But it's not like the sun that
used to be (G major)
The party's over and there's
less and less to say (D major) (A major)
I got new eyes,
(G major) everything looks far away (D major)
Well my heart's in The Highlands
at the break of day
Over the hills and far away (G major)
There's a way to get there,
and I'll figure it out somehow
(D major) Well I'm already (A major) there in my mind (G major)
Outro 1
and that's good enough for now
(D major)
