Verse 1
E                               E
Honey pack your bags, grab your old blue jeans
      D                     A                E    E
We're gonna go fishin' in a mountain stream
E            
Well I know a little shack way up in the hills
D                      A             A        A
Twenty five miles from Harrietville
            E          E
In the high country

Verse 2
Honey you should see all the stars up there
They shine so bright through the cold night air
I'm gonna build you a fire that'll burn real hot
And I'll stay with you at the old camp hut
In the high country

Chorus
B                                    B
I've got my four-wheel drive and I'm ready to roll
A                          A
I wanna go flyin' down and old dirt road
B                         B
Up in the hills where the brumbies roam
A                A               A        A
This must surely be God's own
            E       D              E         E
In the high country,   in the high country

Verse 3
In the drought of 1882
The Maddisons brought the cattle through
>From Mountain Creek to the Staircase Spur
We'll follow the tracks where they pushed the herd
In the high country

Bridge
E                   B
High country that's where I wanna be
A                     A
Walkin' with you by a mountain stream
E                   B 
High country that's where I wanna go
A                       A
Got my bags packed, I'm ready to roll

Chorus

I've got my four-wheel drive and I'm ready to roll
I wanna go flyin' down and old dirt road
Up in the hills where the snow gums stand
You can see forever across this land

                   E     B  A
I'm headin' for the hi -  gh country
               E    D  A
headin'  for the hi - gh country
headin' for the high country
That's where I wanna go, High country .....
