[Intro]
N.C.
Palm muted rhythm
[Verse 1]
C Am Em
I was not troubled by the distance of your friend
F
But she got close to Tennessee
C G
But she won't be back again
C Am Em
Was it the thought of love or the rolling hills that she could not take
F C G
You know the sweeter air is just too fair for a girl from the northern states
[Break]
Am Em F C G
[Verse 2]
C Am Em
The honesty of lucid tongues to you i will not preach
F C G
The city can't stake dying claims to the kind face of southern speech
C Em
As soon as you can please get past baltimore
F C G
Cause you'll never see nothing as green as virginia flying past your door
[Chorus]
Am Em
Don't go for coffee in our houses
F C G
You've seen her best it's emotionless noise
Am Em
Slow down take a look at your hometown
F C G
That's all
[Break]
C Em

Palm mute
C Am Em
She wrote you back she said she's sorry that you couldn't come up north
F C G
And now she's majoring in post-modern sin with some guy you've never heard of before
Am Em F C G x2
End on C
