E     A   E     A 
Hi-de-ho, hi-de-hi, 
E     A        E            A 
Gonna get me a piece of the sky 
E     A                   E     A 
Gonna get me some of that old sweet roll... 
        E           A           E  B7

I: 
 
E                 A 
I've been down so low 
E                  B7 
Bottom looked like up 
E                B 
Once I felt like second saves 
A                     E 
Was enough to fill my cup 
      E             A 
Now I offered all I had 
       E               A 
But it ain't no way to live 
E 
Being taken by the ones who have  
    A               B7 
the least amount to give 
 
 
        E     A   E     A 
Singing Hi-de-ho, hi-de-hi, 
E     A        E            A 
Gonna get me a piece of the sky 
E     A                   E     A 
Gonna get me some of that old sweet roll... 
        E           A           E  B7 
singing hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-ho... 
 
II: 
 
E              A        
Once I met the devil -  
E             B7 
he was mighty slick 
E               B 
Tempted me with worldly goods 
     A               E 
Said I could have my pick 
            E              A 
But when he laid the paper on me 
    E                  A 
And showed me where to sign 
        E 
I said, "Thank you very kindly 
           A                   B7 
But I'm in too great a need of mine" 
 
 
        E     A   E     A 
Singing hi-de-ho, hi-de-hi 
E     A        E             A 
Gonna get me a piece o' that sky 
E     A               E              A 
Gonna find me some o' that old sweet roll 
        E           A           E A
