Arkansas

Note:You can play this song without a capo or with a capo on 2nd (just click transpose "-2" and you get the easier version) D A E D She said 85 years have fairly flown D A E F#m They called me last night said my brother passed on D A E D I cried for a while and stared at the wall D A E A ?Cause there?s no one I know left in Arkansas E D I can still see the five of us climb out the window F#m E To lay on the porch roof that night, in the summer time E D Mama would line us all up on a Saturday F#m E To each have our turn in the tub D She said that was Arkansas A D A E D When she was young we had kerosene nights and innocent days D A E F#m Never dreamed we all would go separate ways D A E D But with each passing or a baby came a long distance call D A E A And we?d all make the trip back to Arkansas E D I could still see my brothers in the faces of old man F#m E We talked about horses and things we were missing E D Like the smell of a hay field the slow rolling thunder F#m E And thinking that nothing would change D Yeah just like Arkansas A G Bm In her younger days she said time is a river that rolls on forever A E You can't stop at the shore line to admire the view G Bm So you pack up your memories, pressed them like flowers C B ?Till all that is left here is you E D A And Arkansas E D She still can hear the song of a Whip-poor-will, calling her, F#m E The wind as he whispers her name in the evening E D And mama still beautiful and graceful, a sunshine F#m E And daddy is handsome and strong D D Yeah just like Arkansas, yeah her Arkansas D Yeah that was Arkansas
