Don Williams – Leaving For The Flatlands (Guitar)

E                                  A
  Sweetly flows the water from the mountain

E                         D      A
  Softly falls the rain upon the leaves

C#m                                 D       A
  Gently blows the breeze among the cedars

Bm         E7              A
Quietly my heart is on its knees

E                              A
  How could anything in all creation

E                        D     A
  Be more beautiful than all I see

C#m                           D        A
With it all my heart is not rejoicing

  Bm              E7               A
Because the one I love is not with me

E                               A
  Somewhere in between us was a difference

E                           D       A
  Not we or all this beauty could secure

    C#m                              D       A
And I know now my heart will ache forever

      Bm             E7             A
And I wonder if this mountain can endure

       A D             A
So I'm leavin' for the flatlands

      D            A        E
Goin' back - where I was conceived

      A              D              A
Goin' back - where nobody knows the difference

     D                  E            A
This mountain knows too much - about me

E                                  A
  I thought it was written - up in heaven

     E                        D      A
That you would be with me and I with you

C#m                                  D           A
Sun and moon and stars must feel the difference

        Bm                E7                   A
They're wishin' there was somethin' they could do

       A D             A
So I'm leavin' for the flatlands

      D            A        E
Goin' back - where I was conceived

      A              D              A
Goin' back - where nobody knows the difference

     D                  E            A
This mountain knows too much - about me

     D                  E            A
This mountain knows too much - about me
