Emmylou Harris – Goin Back To Harlan (Guitar)

      Am                 C 
There were no cuckoos, no sycamores.

   F                G           
We played about the forest floor

Dm               C 
  underneath the silver maples,

G                     Am 
  the balsams and the sky.

   Am                   C 
We popped the heads off dandelions,

  F                 G 
assuming roles from nursery rhymes.

Dm              C 
  Rested on the riverbank,

G                    Am
  and grew up by and by.

G                    Am  Am
  And grew up by and by

C 
  Frail my heart apart,

    G 
and play me a little Shady Grove.

C 
  Ring the bells of rhymney,

         G 
til they ring inside my head forever.

C                          G 
  Bounce the bow, rock the gallows

                  Am 
for the hangman's reel.

    G                       C        G
And wake the devil from his dre-eeee-eam

                 C                G
I'm goin back to Harlan, oh oh oh oh

                 C                G
I'm goin back to Harlan, oh oh oh oh

                  Am      Am  
I'm going back to Harlan

Am              C 
And if you were Willie Moore

    F             G            
and I was Barbara Allen,

       Dm                    C 
or Fair Ellen all sad at the cabin door

  G                        Am 
a-weeping and a-pinin' for love.

  G                        Am    Am
A-weeping and a-pinin' for love.
