Caroline Herring - Wise Woman


CAPO: 5th Fret


INTRO: C majorC G+G FF C majorC (4x)

CHORUS:

I went up to the mountain
   FF        C majorC    FF
And I came back a wise woman
      C majorC   FF       G+G    C majorC
Went to the river, came back wiser still
            FF         C majorC       FF
Only to see, you're as dear to me as the air I breathe
     C majorC        FF    G+G   C majorC
Won't you meet me at that mansion on the hill

             G+G     FF
Stuffed your mattress and wove your sheets
                C majorC
Patched your blanket, piece by piece
    FF           C majorC       FF     G+G
If the lord had granted me a choice, I'd a held up my hand
  C majorC            G+G    FF
We ground the corn, moulded lard and lye
           C majorC         FF
Had ten children and watched four die
       C majorC             G+G    C majorC
I'll stand beside you when you meet the promised land


CHORUS:

Because I went up to the mountain
   FF        C majorC    FF
And I came back a wise woman
      C majorC   FF       G+G    C majorC
Went to the river, came back wiser still
            FF         C majorC       FF
Only to see, you're as dear to me as the air I breathe
     C majorC        FF    G+G   C majorC
Won't you meet me at that mansion on the hill


INSTRUMENTAL: FF C majorC FF C majorC FF G+G C majorC  FF C majorC FF C majorC FF G+G C majorC

             G+G    FF
Danced to the fiddle on a Saturday night
             C majorC       FF
And chopped the cotton before daylight
         C majorC     FF      G+G
The sun don't go down on a poor man's woes
    C majorC         G+G    FF
But my love, if you don't meet the dawn
          C majorC     FF
I promise you, I'll carry on
          C majorC           G+G    C majorC
Singing, 'Precious Memories', as I plant along the rows


CHORUS:

Because I went up to the mountain
   FF        C majorC    FF
And I came back a wise woman
      C majorC   FF       G+G    C majorC
Went to the river, came back wiser still
            FF         C majorC       FF
Only to see, you're as dear to me as the air I breathe
     C majorC        FF    G+G   C majorC
Won't you meet me at that mansion on the hill
             FF        C majorC
Won't you meet me at the mansion on the hill
             FF        C majorC
Won't you meet me at the mansion on the hill
