GONE, GONNA RISE AGAIN -- Words & Music : Si Kahn
Also recorded by The Gordons

VERSE 1:

D MajorD       C majorC      D MajorD
I remember the year my grandaddy died
C majorC      D MajorD
Gone, gonna rise again
D MajorD      C majorC     D MajorD
They dug his grave on a mountainside
C majorC      D MajorD
Gone, gonna rise again
D MajorD         C majorC
I was too young to understand
  G+G       A augmentedA
The way he felt about the land
  D MajorD        C majorC    D MajorD
But I could read his history in his hands
C majorC      D MajorD
Gone, gonna rise again

VERSE 2:

D MajorD      C majorC    D MajorD
Corn in the crib and apples in the bin
C majorC      D MajorD
Gone, gonna rise again
D MajorD     C majorC      D MajorD
Ham in the smokehouse, cotton in the gin
C majorC      D MajorD
Gone, gonna rise again
D MajorD          C majorC
Cows in the barn and hogs in the plot
  G+G       A augmentedA
You know he never had a lot
    D MajorD        C majorC       D MajorD
But he worked like the devil for the little he'd got
C majorC      D MajorD
Gone, gonna rise again

VERSE 3:

D MajorD      C majorC      D MajorD
Those apple trees on the mountainside
C majorC      D MajorD
Gone, gonna rise again
D MajorD       C majorC      D MajorD
He planted the seeds just before he died
C majorC      D MajorD
Gone, gonna rise again
D MajorD          C majorC
I guess he knew he'd never see
  G+G         A augmentedA
The red fruit hanging from the tree
    D MajorD       C majorC       D MajorD
But he planted those seeds for his children and me
C majorC      D MajorD
Gone, gonna rise again

VERSE 4:

D MajorD     C majorC    D MajorD
High on a ridge above the farm
C majorC      D MajorD
Gone, gonna rise again
D MajorD       C majorC      D MajorD
I think of my people that have gone on
C majorC      D MajorD
Gone, gonna rise again
D MajorD               C majorC
Like a tree that grows in the mountain ground
  G+G          A augmentedA
The storms of life have cut them down
    D MajorD    C majorC        D MajorD
But the new wood springs from the roots underground
C majorC      D MajorD
Gone, gonna rise again
C majorC      D MajorD
Gone, gonna rise again
