End the intro, and verse with the little fill, I'll try to update eventually
The move from to Am to F back to C is pretty quick, doesn't hang on F long.
[Intro]
C F x2
[Verse 1]
C F
Mountain air’s gonna keep me strong
C
Between two rivers deep and long
Am F C
Back down in the valley where the children play
G C
Way out west I've a-gone to stray
[Verse 2]
C F
Well the sun is beating at my back
C
It’s an endless lonesome railroad track
Am F C
I’m walking slow but I'm walking hard
G C
I dreamt your face in that old train yard
[Verse 3]
C F
I walked all the way to the edge of town
C
Thought a little while then I turned back around
Am F C
I guess I’ve grown too old to run
G C
Dreaming of the land of the midnight sun
[Verse 4]
C F
And I miss some people I once knew
C
Seasons change and folks do too
Am F C
They're way out east and I’m way out west
G C
Right or wrong I think I did my best
[Verse 5]
C F
Now my stomach is empty and my mind is dust
C
I can't seem to name a single soul I trust
Am F C
So I guess it's time I run to the hills
G C
Gonna blow my nose with a ten dollar bill
[Bridge]
G C
Money means nothing when you're high [hold] in the hills
[Verse 6]
C F
Well it's been a long time since I've been seen
C
Back down in the valley sober and clean
Am F C
But things ain't always what they seem
G C
Spring came early and the valley is green
[Verse 7]
C F
Come on down to the valley floor
C
Stop on down at the general store
Am F C
Hear the talk of town and then you walk some more
G C
Just kept going til my legs were sore
[Verse 8]
C F
Say you need me and you need me bad
C
You're the best friend I've ever had
Am F C
Love's the strongest thing I know
G C
I'll be there no matter where you go
[Verse 9]
C F
Two thousand miles is a long long ways
C
But we'll make it through in just three days
Am F C
I'll take it straight I'll take it slow
G C
Back to the land of the ice ...(it's more of an Alaska) ... and snow
[Verse 10]
C F
And come the day my final breath
C
Physically I'll meet my death
Am F C
Tell my friend in Tennessee
G C
He hasn't heard the last of me
[Bridge]
G C
Write a song in memory
[Outro]
C F
Pray beneath the willow tree
C
Pray beneath the willow tree
