Sister Hazel – Ten Candle Days (Guitar)

C
Daddy was a hard man, worked coal all his life

           G       Am
A dollar a day wage kept us alive

             C
So we headed west bound, we came of age

            G                 Am
Fortunes to be found, and we stake our claim

        G               F C
Singing ah, ale-ale-alah

      C            F           C                                                G    C
And when I die, won't you lay me on down by Rowing fork river near the old aspen grove

C                                F               C                                G             C
Spend our days searching these mountains for silver ten candle days will be gone fore too long

C
So we found us a boom town, to work in the cracks

             G                                     Am
We’re thanking the Lord now, for the strength in our backs

              C
With pick ax and powder, a quick prayer to God

             G                           Am
A candle an hour, for each one on the job

                          C
We learned fast a man’s measured, by the weight of his ore

                      G                              Am
Found the woman you treasure, could love nothing more

                C
The summer of eighteen blessed us with a child

                G                         Am
A past ever changing, with pressure in time

        G               F C
Singing ah, ale-ale-alah

      C            F           C                                                G    C
And when I die, won't you lay me on down by Rowing fork river near the old aspen grove

C                                F               C                                G             C
Spend our days searching these mountains for silver ten candle days will be gone fore too long

       F         C                                G
Shine on, shine On These ten candle days shine on

       Am        G              C                 G
Shine on, shine On   When the lights come down low

                  C
We'll be coming home

C
My brothers are gone now, black soot for ash

          G                          Am
I guess what you take out, you gotta give back

           C
Lonely prospector, the last of my kind

        G                       Am
Sole protector of this silver mine

        G               F C
Singing ah, ale-ale-alah

      C            F           C                                                G    C
And when I die, won't you lay me on down by Rowing fork river near the old aspen grove

C                                F               C                                G             C
Spend our days searching these mountains for silver ten candle days will be gone fore too long

       F         C                                G
Shine on, shine On These ten candle days shine on

       Am        G              C                 G
Shine on, shine On   When the lights come down low

                   F      C
We'll be coming home...
