The Creek That Was chords by Lake Fork Verne

Chords with lyrics

D MajorD   G+G   D MajorD
There was a little creek,
               A augmentedA
That ran thru the old Edwards place
    D MajorD    G+G    D MajorD
I used to pass it every week
       A augmentedA    D MajorD
But now it is barely a trace

          G+G            D MajorD
Navy beans, little democrats, my dad called them
                     A augmentedA
Would soak all day in a pot of that creek water
   D MajorD       G+G
They were the main course
          D MajorD
Of my grandparents supper

         G+G      D MajorD
That little creek is now grown over
              A augmentedA
Corporate farmers plowed it shut
   D MajorD       G+G       D MajorD
They got three more feet for their rovers
             A augmentedA        D MajorD
Sealed shut, our memories to satisfy their glut

     G+G       D MajorD
But I can still picture it
               A augmentedA
Like it was when my dad was a lad
   D MajorD  G+G       D MajorD
With his little wooden bucket
         A augmentedA         D MajorD
Drawing water for their supper, how glad

      G+G      D MajorD
I can still see where it was,
            A augmentedA
When I drive by the old place
    D MajorD   G+G   D MajorD
Hidden in the grassy waterway
              A augmentedA   D MajorD
Ignoring the farm tractors noisy buzz

         G+G
Yes, they boiled their navy (D MajorD beans)
                    A augmentedA
Little democrats is what my dad called them
    G+G         D MajorD
In that clear, clean creek water
     A augmentedA  D MajorD
The creek that was..

No creek there no more..
