Heartstrings chords by Alison Krauss

Intro:
G D Em Bm C D G

Verse 1:
G   D        Em  Bm
Way up north, where the snow flies
    C     D   G   D
And the sun don't hardly shine
G       D  Em   Bm
If it weren't for, my true love
     C     G   D
I'd have long ago lost my mind
             G   D
I'd have long ago lost my mind

Verse 2:
    G     D     Em     Bm
There's good folks here and good folks there
C     D    G  D
most everywhere I go
     G  D   Em    Bm
But the land of my heart is down
     C      G   D
where the snow white cotton grows
               G  D
where the snow white cotton grows


Chorus:
     C     Bm      Am   G
When the river runs over from the melting snow
    C      D   G
we will take to the higher ground
     C     Bm        Am     G
when the water goes down again, we'll saddle our old paint
C    D    G
we'll be homeward bound
    C    Bm   D    G
me and my love will be homeward bound


Solo:
G D Em Bm C D G D G D Em Bm C G D G


Verse 3:
G         D         Em     Bm
Heartstrings hold tighter than the roots of a live oak tree
C        D    G   D
holding through tornado wind
G      D    Em      Bm
tougher than timber, stronger than steel
    C       G     D
they'll guide me back southward again
                 G   D
they'll guide me back southward again


Chorus:
     C     Bm      Am   G
When the river runs over from the melting snow
    C      D   G
we will take to the higher ground
     C     Bm        Am     G
when the water goes down again, we'll saddle our old paint
C    D    G
we'll be homeward bound
    C    Bm   D    G
me and my love will be homeward bound
