Appalachian Lullaby chords by Bob Martin

Guitar chords with lyrics

  • Difficulty: Beginner 👶
Intro:

D A Bm
G A A7 D


Verse:
D                  A
Told 'em all I was leaving
Bm
Maybe go up and get a job in Cleveland
G
Leave the southern mountains
A
And my home

Verse:
D                                     A
So they gathered in the front yard to say goodbye
Bm
Aunts and uncles and the babies cry
G
I was just a kid so I kept inside
A
The feelings that I had


Verse:
D            A
Maybe I'd be back in spring
Bm
When the red bud blooms, and the wild turkeys sing
G
Big city job don't mean a thing
A
Takes you far from home


Refrain:
Bm               A
Now I'm out here all alone
Bm                   A
Highway looking like coal black stone
G
Cardboard box holding everything I own
A       A7
So far away


Chorus:
D      A          Bm
Siiiii-iiiiiing a lullaby
   G                         A               D
Oh baby, won't you sing that Appalachia Lullaby


Verse:
D                           A
Through a broken window the moon shines bright
Bm
I tell myself it's the same old light
G
Shining down on the Cumberland tonight
A
That takes my mind back home


Verse:
D                      A
If the old folks could see me now
Bm
Drunk and dirty, stumbling around
G
Taking anything that I thought somehow
A
Would take my mind back home


Refrain:
Bm                 A
All the years went by too fast
Bm                   A
Hanging on trying to make it last
G
Find yourself living in the past
A       Asus4  A  Asus4 A
So far awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay


Break:
D A Bm G Asus4 A


Verse:
D                           A
The city's a lover who just can't feel
Bm
Hands of ice and a heart of steel
G
I'm still living here but it don't seem real
A
More like a slow motion ache


Verse:
D                         A
There's a place where the high road ends
Bm
The old dirt road begins
G
Winds down to a place I've been
A
Where the mountains reach the sky


Refrain:
Bm               A
Now I'm out here all alone
Bm
Highway looking like coal black stone
G
Cardboard box holding everything I own
A       Asus4  A  Asus4 A
So far awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay


Chorus:
D      A          Bm
Siiiii-iiiiiing a lullaby
   G                         A               D
Oh baby, won't you sing that Appalachia Lullaby
D      A          Bm
Siiiii-iiiiiing a lullaby
   G                         A               D  G A Bm
Oh baby, won't you sing that Appalachia Lullaby
