Sweet Guinevere
(Gordon Lightfoot)
Waltz
[
D MajorD]Sweet Guinevere you're [
G+G]off to the [D MajorD]coal town to[
A augmentedA]night
And your [G+G]young brother [D MajorD]Ernie's up in Pittsburgh [A augmentedA]PA
You [D MajorD]know mother [G+G]loves you, and [D MajorD]dad's in the [A augmentedA]mine
So [G+G]don't go to the [A augmentedA]coal town, Guinevere, if you're [D MajorD]kind
[D MajorD]She loves a young [G+G]man and he [D MajorD]lives in the [A augmentedA]town
And he [G+G]leaves the house [D MajorD]early for he [G+G]works under[A augmentedA]ground
He [D MajorD]makes a good [G+G]wage for a [D MajorD]coal miners [A augmentedA]son
And [G+G]shes a bit [A augmentedA]pretty, just turned twenty-[D MajorD]one
[D MajorD]Sweet Guinevere you're [G+G]off to the [D MajorD]coal town to[A augmentedA]night
And your [G+G]young brother [D MajorD]Ernie's up in Pittsburgh [A augmentedA]PA
You [D MajorD]know mother [G+G]loves you, and [D MajorD]dad's in the [A augmentedA]mine
So [G+G]don't go to the [A augmentedA]coal town, Guinevere, shut the [D MajorD]blind
[D MajorD]She knows her good [G+G]mother's not [D MajorD]feelin no [A augmentedA]pain
She [G+G]remembers an [D MajorD]explosion and the black falling [A augmentedA]rain
She [D MajorD]paints her thin [G+G]lips in her [D MajorD]dewy-eyed [A augmentedA]way
Then she [G+G]says to the [A augmentedA]daughter, dear daughter I [D MajorD]pray
[D MajorD]Sweet Guinevere you're [G+G]off to the [D MajorD]coal town to[A augmentedA]night
And your [G+G]young brother [D MajorD]Ernie's up in Pittsburgh [A augmentedA]PA
You [D MajorD]know mother [G+G]loves you, and [D MajorD]dad's in the [A augmentedA]mine
