Old Crow Medicine Show – Mother Church (Guitar)

C                                      
They came from the hills over rivers wide

         Em 
Down the back roads bounce along

      F                             
They came to the city where the stage lights shine just to 

  C              G
listen to the song

         F                                                C                        F 
In the lines they stand with the calloused hands and the kin folk by thier side

They heard the slide of the steel guitar

        Em

sung in harmony

           F                                  C                     F
