Biography:
Brent Cobb (born in Americus, Georgia) is an American country music singer-songwriter.
If the love of music can follow a bloodline then you could say that writer & recording artist Brent Cobb was born to be a musician. In fact, so many members of Brent’s extended family have musical ability that he can’t really name them all. Music was not only in his blood, it was played and heard in his home as a child and in the homes of most of his relatives throughout his youth.

Play the barred version of an Am to get the high A string to ring.
It's pretty much a walk down on the high e string from 5th fret to 3rd to 2nd.
The G can be played normally or barred depending on what is an easier transition.
Am: 577555
[Intro] x2
Am G D
[Verse 1]
Am G D
Should've been a lawman, dominant hand with a radical creed
Am G D
Should've punched clocks on the piers and the docks makin' concrete
Am G D
I've seen ships down in Savannah let their ivory sails soar
Am G D
I could've gotten used to life at sea
Am G D
Could've been a doctor livin' in a mansion, rich as I'd be
Am G D
Would've had a fast car, young blonde girlfriend all for free
Am G D
I like to think in some town far away there'd be a man like I am now
Am G D C
He will feel that he was losin' touch, lost too much
[Chorus]
D A G
High in the country
D A G
Where the skies are blue
D A G
High in the country
Em G
Where I dream of you
[Verse 2]
Am G
Well I'm down with the devil, and down with the saints
D
I'm layin' on thick, fresh coats of paint
Am G
Take it all back, take it all back, Jack
D
She never loved a damn thing, never lost face
Am G D
I would die a thousand deaths to end up in her lovin' arms
Am G D C
Every chance I had I threw away, I spent everyday
[Chorus]
D A G
High in the country
D A G
Where the skies are blue
D A G
High in the country
Em A
Where I dreamed of you
[Bridge]
Em A
Where I dreamed of you
Em G
Yes I dreamed of you
[Chorus]
D A G
High in the country
D A G
Where the strong wind blew
D A G
High in the country
Em G
Where I dreamed of you
[Outro]
Em A
Still I dream of you
