Goin' Back To Harlan - Emmylou Harris
(capo 1)
(intro) A minorAm C majorC FF G+G (x2)
(verse 1)
A minorAm C majorC
There were no cuckoos, no sycamores.
FF G+G
We played about the forest floor
DmDm C majorC
underneath the silver maples,
G+G A minorAm
the balsams and the sky.
(verse 2)
A minorAm C majorC
We popped the heads off dandelions,
FF G+G
assuming roles from nursery rhymes.
DmDm C majorC
Rested on the riverbank,
G+G A minorAm
and grew up by and by.
G+G A minorAm A minorAm
And grew up by and by
(bridge)
C majorC
Frail my heart apart,
G+G
and play me a little Shady Grove.
C majorC
Ring the bells of rhymney,
G+G
til they ring inside my head forever.
C majorC G+G
Bounce the bow, rock the gallows
A minorAm
for the hangman's reel.
G+G C majorC G+G
And wake the devil from his dre-eeee-eam
(chorus)
C majorC G+G
I'm goin back to Harlan, oh oh oh oh
C majorC G+G
I'm goin back to Harlan, oh oh oh oh
A minorAm A minorAm
I'm going back to Harlan
(verse 3)
A minorAm C majorC
And if you were Willie Moore
FF G+G
and I was Barbara Allen,
DmDm C majorC
or Fair Ellen all sad at the cabin door
G+G A minorAm
a-weeping and a-pinin' for love.
G+G A minorAm A minorAm
A-weeping and a-pinin' for love.
