High Hopes


Next time you're found, with your chin on the ground
-7*  -7*   -7*    -7*    7    7*  -7* -7* -7*  -7*

There's a lot to be learned, so look around
  7    7* -7* -7* -7* -7*    7*  7   -6 -5*


Just what makes that little old ant
-7*  -7*    7   -5*  -5  5  -4   5

Think he'll move that rubber tree plant
  7*   7*    -6   -5  -4* -3* -3   -3*

Anyone  knows an ant, can't  move a rubber tree plant
-4*-3*-3 -3*  7   7*   -7    -7*  7* 7 -5*  -6   -5*


But he's got  high   hopes, he's got high hopes
-5*  -6   7 -8*-8-8*   7*    8    8  -7*-7-7* 7

He's got high apple  pie,   in the  sky   hopes
-7*  -7*  -7  7 -6 -7 7*-7   7 -6 -7*-7-7* -3*

So  any time you're gettin' low, 'Stead of lettin' go
-3*-4*-5 -5*  -6    7  -6   -5*     7   7* -7* 7*  7

Just remember that ant
 7* -7*-8*-7*  7*  -8*

Oops, there goes another rubber tree plant (3 Times)
-7*    -7*  -7* -7 7*-3*  7 -3*  -6   -5*


When troubles call, and your back's to the wall
There's a lot to be learned, that wall could fall

Once there was a silly old ram
Thought he'd punch a hole in a dam
No one could make that ram, scram  He kept buttin' that dam

Cause he had high hopes, he had high hopes
He had high apple  pie, in the sky hopes
So any time you're feelin' bad  'Stead of feelin' sad
Just remember that ram
Oops, there goes a billion kilowatt dam (3 Times)
