Capo 3
The D chord in the last part of the bridge is a C-shape moved up two frets,
so it could be an Em9 or Dmaj11 sounding chord.
Not sure, but I'm sure it can be debated. Suggestions welcomed. :)
[Pre-Chorus]
N.C.
My soul's buried beneath an aspen tree in Cimarron, Colorado
And it's bearing the name of my one true love
And a heart pierced by an arrow
It neighbors a stream and it seems to me that is flowing with holy water
Lord, I love Texas, God knows I do

But I know I'm a mountain daughter

I'm leaving it soon with the one I love

Calling me back home to the rural dream

Of building us a cabin and a life up where

My soul's at home and my mind is clear

There's a short-haired pointer, ahead of cattle

The kids are running wild

But I'm gonna raise a mountain child
