Patty Griffin – Where I Come From (Guitar)

Em
[tab]                    C
It's a land of many islands

Em                                     C
Two rivers run to the east and to the west

 D
Wanted to run far away as I could

           C
As fast as I could get

D
No matter where I've been

                         C          Em      C
I can't escape who I am or forget

Em
Where I come from

                 C
Paint is peeling all the time

Em                             C
Winter's long, gets into your boots

D
The river runs high and wild

                        C
High and wild in the springtime

D
Stories come through our faded little town

          C
When the sun shines

Em
Veterans

                        C
The veterans of all the past wars

Em                            C
Sit outside on a Sunday afternoon

D
The mills closed down long ago

                      C
So we're way past unemployment

D
A good bad joke somebody told on our town

             C
For their enjoyment

Em
September sun

            C
Colors boldly flying

Em                        C
Pretty reds, orange, gold, and brown

D                               C
Most beautiful as the light is dying

D                             C
Most beautiful as the day goes down
