The Allman Brothers Band High Cost of Low Living Lyrics

This tab is currently 95% created by Terry and 5% by myself.
I have basically edited and revised this version of the tab.
You can expect more of my updates to this tab including leads
and both guitars some time in February. I hope you enjoy our tab.

You're the life of the party, everybody's host
Still you need somewhere you can hide
All your good-time friends and your fair-weather has-beens
Lord knows?.they're just along for the ride
You think you're a survivor, but boy you better think twice
G Dm (2 beats) > D
No one rides for nothing, so step up and pay the price
It's the high cost of low living
Ain't it high time you turned yourself around
Yeah, the high cost of low living
Bound to put you six feet in the ground

So many here who love you still you just can't tell
The real ones from those that drop your name
All the while behind your back they rip the flesh right from
your bones
you should know by now we're all fair game
You been chasing each dream with whiskey From here to Tokyo
Using up all your real friends No places left to go
It's the high cost of low living
Ain't it high time you turned yourself around
Yeah, the high cost of low living
Bound to put you six feet in the ground

Don't look behind you Don't look back
Don't try to find reasons In the past the past is gone
Another Jam
