Gettin' By, High and Strange
K. Kristofferson
Album: Border Lord


INTRO: C

C
New York City was a stich in time
         F                      C
When I'd stood all I could of L.A.
C
Patchin' up the pieces of my tangled mind
    D                                 G
And diggin' somethin' different every day, yeah
C
Soon as I was better I was movin' on
Em                           F
Gettin' it together, gettin' good and gone
    C                G                          C              F        C
And by (gettin' by), high, (good and high), and strange (gonna get some strange)


CHORUS:
F
New ain't nothin' but a state of mind
C
Keeps a man from missin' what he left behind
D
I'll take anything that I can find
   G       F         Em        G
Anyhow, anywhere, any way, any time
C
I'll keep livin' 'til the day I die
   Em                          F
As long as I can get it up for one more try
    C                G                         C              F        C
And by (gettin' by), high (good and high), and strange (gonna get some strange)


SOLO: C Em  F  C  G  C
