The Black Crowes – Shady Grove (Guitar)

C                                         G
Meet me by the banks of the sweet primrose

C                                   F
Follow it down to the shady grove

Bb                                     F
Bonnie blow the breeze by the cabin door

Bb                  A           G
No two lovers could ask for more

C                                   G
So grab your fiddle and your old banjo

C                                    F
Play a country blues so sweet and slow

      Bb                               F
We'll sing along to the drunkard's doom

    Bb                    A
And rock all night by the silvery moon

D                    C
These old trees grow straight to heaven

Bb                      F     G
So it goes in the shady grove

C                                         G
When the old hen crackles and the ground gets cold

C                                         F
Our fine buck skin dances through the snow

Bb                                     F
We'll take to town on a Saturday night

Bb                   A
You and me baby make such a sight

D                   C
Whiskey, wine, name your pleasure

Bb                      F
So it goes in the shady grove

G
Hey boys, gather round

C                                          G
When the fish start biting at the new mayflies

C                                  F
The muddy roads have all done dried

Bb                                   F
The honeysuckle says it's summertime

Bb                     A
That old yellow sun is mighty kind

D                C
Hear the seasons come with reasons

Bb                      F
So it goes in the shady grove

G
Hey boys, gather round

A                    C
Won't you be my lullaby, babe?

A                    C
In the sweet bye and bye, babe

A
It's okay to cry and let the sadness pass you by

                     C         G
And know I'll always love you, babe

G
Hey boys, gather round
