Thunder - Low Life In High Places Chords & Tabs

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
		     LOW LIFE IN HIGH PLACES -- Thunder
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tabbed by: FunkHammer
Email: hayseed@graffiti.net

Tuning: Standard

NOTES: Great song by a great, unheralded band. This tab is for the acoustic version
of the song as found on the "They Think It's All Over..." album. However, aside from
the electric parts, the acoustic voicings match up fairly close to those on the studio
version. I've kept the tab to a fairly simple diagramming of just the chord progressions,
leaving it up to the listener to discern the strumming/picking patterns on the
recordings -- they're pretty easy to figure out. Here we go...

SECTION A

    Am7      Am6           Am(#5)          Am
E |--0--------0-----------|--0--------------0---|

G |--0--------2-----------|--2--------------2---|
D |--2--------4-----------|--3--------------2---|
A |--0--------0-----------|--0--------------2---|
E |-----------------------|---------------------|
     Mama  --  tell your    children not to go

    Am7           Am6             Am(#5)            Am

       down to the city where the   desperate people go.

Repeat changes above for these lyrics:

      Am7   Am6   Am(#5)             Am
  And Mama   --   don't you let them stray;

  Am7            Am6                      Am(#5) Am
  They won't find peace of mind in such a lonely place.

     low    life in high    places.

Then repeat from SECTION A with these lyrics:

   Am7   Am6            Am(#5)                 Am
   Mama -- things have changed since you were young;

   Am7                     Am6               Am(#5)       Am
   When they scream in the dead of night now no one ever comes.

   Am7             Am6                Am(#5)           Am
   And the poor man, he's cast as the beggar and the thief;

   Am7          Am6                            Am(#5)      Am
   You see him down on the street begging for enough to eat.

Then to SECTION B:

   Dm             G                 Dm              G
   Waiting on the corner I saw her waiting for the man;

   C                       F      G                  Dm
   When the limo pulled up I saw what was changing hands.

   Dm                  G            Em            F
   I should'a tried to warn her and make her understand there is
