Intro:

D


Verse 1:
       D
Oh the whispers get old in this postard town
        Gmaj7
And the streets of cobblestone they echo the sound
     D
As I reminisce and listen
                 Gmaj7
Maybe I ought to leave

Pre-Chorus:
               D
And I know the evergreens are swaying somewhere north of me
                   Gmaj7
They may leave the peace I find beneath those
          D          Em
Old cedar trees I'll miss you
                                    G
But before the sun comes up I gotta go
        A
I gotta go


Chorus:
     Em                          G
Oh Appalachia, I promise I don't hate you
                       D                 A
But you can only go so far in a ten-mile town
                  Em
I love you from a distance
                    G
Come back to you on Christmas
                   D
I swear the rivers rising
                    Bm7
And I don't want to drown
       Em
Oh Appalachia
          G
Please forgive me
                      D
Wish I could take you with me


Verse 3:
        D
I'll go walking for miles
                               Gmaj7
And I won't see your face in a town where everybody knows
                           D
Everybody's name but I get tired
                          Gmaj7
I get tired of the same old thing


Pre-Chorus:
               D
And I know the evergreens are swaying somewhere north of me
                   Gmaj7
They may leave the peace I find beneath those
          D          Em
Old cedar trees I'll miss you
                                    G
But before the sun comes up I gotta go
        A
I gotta go


Chorus:
       Em7                       G
Oh Appalachia, I promise I don't hate you
                       D                 A
But you can only go so far in a ten-mile town
                  Em
I love you from a distance
                    G
Come back to you on Christmas
                   D
I swear the rivers rising
                    Bm7
And I don't want to drown
       Em
Oh Appalachia
          G
Please forgive me
                      D
Wish I could take you with me


Bridge:
        Em7          G
Oh I'll drive on the road I've never taken
     D                             A
I'll tell you when to make it, Appalachia
        Em7        G
Oh I'll drive on a road I've never taken
     D                           Bm
I'll tell you when I make it Appalachia
       Em7
Oh Appalachia


Outro:
          G
Please forgive me
                      D
Wish I could take you with me
