DELLA MAE - ABERDEEN
Lyrics written by Celia Woodsmith

A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE F# minorF#m

      A augmentedA
There is a tree, flowers in spring.
       F# minorF#m       A augmentedA
White cherry buds, twenty-two rings.
       F# minorF#m         A augmentedA
I helped her grow, but have never seen
     E MajorE       F# minorF#m
Carolina winter or Aberdeen.

          A augmentedA
From the Missisippi floodgates my body churned.
       F# minorF#m       A augmentedA
Up the river delta my mother yearned
       F# minorF#m       A augmentedA
to taste the sweetness of her pain
    E MajorE        F# minorF#m
fallin' down in Carolina rain.

     D MajorD        A augmentedA
And if I stay I'll stay today.
      F# minorF#m       A augmentedA
My body has followed in her wake.
     D MajorD      A augmentedA
If I'm to go, I'll go away
    E MajorE          F# minorF#m
to Aberdeen and there I'll wait.

E MajorE F# minorF#m

          A augmentedA
She stayed by the sea hardened town.
     F# minorF#m      A augmentedA
Smell of fish watered down,
     F# minorF#m      A augmentedA
Taste of liquor on her mouth,
         E MajorE          F# minorF#m
and her heart it wandered down to the south.

     D MajorD        A augmentedA
And if I stay I'll stay today.
      F# minorF#m       A augmentedA
My body has followed in her wake.
     D MajorD      A augmentedA
If I'm to go, I'll go away
    E MajorE          F# minorF#m
to Aberdeen and there I'll wait.

A augmentedA F# minorF#m A augmentedA F# minorF#m A augmentedA E MajorE F# minorF#m

      A augmentedA
Her body is now hard from the years.
        F# minorF#m        A augmentedA
She's still as strong, still as fierce.
      F# minorF#m       A augmentedA
I've taken all she had to give
     E MajorE        F# minorF#m
and given back the will to live.

     D MajorD        A augmentedA
And if I stay I'll stay today.
      F# minorF#m       A augmentedA
My body has followed in her wake.
     D MajorD      A augmentedA
If I'm to go, I'll go away
    E MajorE          F# minorF#m
to Aberdeen and there I'll wait.

    E MajorE         F# minorF#m
To Aberdeen and there I'll wait
    E MajorE         F# minorF#m
To Aberdeen and there I'll wait

E MajorE F# minorF#m
