UNWED FATHERS

Verse:
G+G         C majorC     G+G   C majorC
In an Appalachian, Greyhound station
        G+G    D MajorD      G+G
She sits there waiting, in a family way
         C majorC      G+G   C majorC
"Goodbye brother, Tell Mama I love her
       G+G    D MajorD        G+G
Tell all the others, I'll write someday"

Chorus:
G+G        C majorC         G+G
From an teenage lover, to an unwed mother
                D MajorD
Kept undercover, like some bad dream
      G+G    C majorC    G+G   C majorC
While unwed fathers, can't be bothered
       G+G   D MajorD         G+G
They run like water, through a mountain stream
G+G             C majorC      G+G   C majorC
In a cold and gray town, a nurse Say's "Lay down"
        G+G      D MajorD     G+G
'This ain't no playground, you ain't home'
          C majorC     G+G   C majorC
Someone's children, out having children
        G+G     D MajorD  G+G
In a cold gray building, all alone

Chorus:
G+G        C majorC         G+G
From an teenage lover, to an unwed mother
                D MajorD
Kept undercover, like some bad dream
      G+G    C majorC    G+G   C majorC
And teenage fathers, can't be bothered
       G+G   D MajorD         G+G
They run like water, through a mountain stream

Solo:
G+G            C majorC    G+G    C majorC
On somewhere else bound, midnight Greyhound
     G+G     D MajorD       G+G
She hangs her head down, hummin' lullabies
        C majorC     G+G  C majorC
Scared and half crazy, she hold?s a baby
        G+G     D MajorD             G+G
She says I think maybe, you've got your daddy? his eyes'

Chorus:
G+G        C majorC         G+G
From an teenage lover, to an unwed mother
                D MajorD
Kept undercover, like some bad dream
      G+G    C majorC       G+G   C majorC
While unwed fathers, they can't be bothered
       G+G   D MajorD         G+G
They run like water, through a mountain stream
          G+G   D MajorD         G+G
Well, they run like water, Through a mountain stream
