Intro:
G   C G   D G   (2x)

Verse 1:
                  C          G
High and handsome stands the peak
                             D     G
There stands the mountain of Sugar Creek
                    C    G
Come sassy bees and sexy knees
                        D        G      C G   D G
And possums swingin’ on sycamore trees


Verse 2:
                         C             G
You can sit and stare at nothin’ in particular
                    D            G
Sit and dream where life’s perpendicular
                  C         G
Sky and trees and rocks and ground
                    D    G      C G   D G
All up and down and all around


Chorus:
           N.C.
You’re home little gal, so do-si-do
      C           G            D        G
Round Sugar Creek Mountain and don’t be slow
    N.C.
Four steps back and better be counting
   C           G       D             G    C  G   D G   C G   D G
Or you’ll step off ol’ Sugar Creek - Mountain__

Verse 3:
                             C         G
You wait for the wisdom that wind will bring
                          D        G
You learn how to live and love and sing
                    C        G
Breathe in deep and feel the burning
                     D           G         C G   D G
Deeper than life and deeper than learning


Verse 4:
                        C          G
Wild sweet notes from a wild sweet throat
                   D          G
Echoing songs that never been wrote
                      C          G
Wild and sweet like a sugar cane treat
                       D         G     C G   D G
Dance the fellas right off their feet


Chorus:

Four steps back and better be counting

Or you’ll step off ol’ Sugar Creek - Mountain__


Bridge:

With the feet a-prancin’ and your blood a-dancing
C      G                   D         G
Eyes a-glancin’ while your heart’s romancin’

Swing to the music of that clear sweet fountain
     C               G       D           G         C G   D G
That slides down the side of Sugar Creek Mountain


Verse 5:
                               C        G
You can’t get to heaven if you push and shove

Just promenade the one you love

Oh, by Joe and oh, by gee
                           D          G    C G   D G
Don’t look at her when you dance with me


Verse 6:
                               C        G
Dive through the middle, don’t shove or push
                     D        G
Keep goin’ round the mulberry bush
                C      G
Oh, by gosh and oh, by Joe
                           D       G      C G   D G
This may be the last time, I don’t know

And two boys back in 'Bama, two and number three
Am               C           D                F
Number four from Texas, says I’m his queen of queens

Oh, the pieces of my heart sure look good in faded jeans

           Am                            F              E
If I could give them just a piece of the heart you once had

Someday I’ll marry one boy and we'll never ever part

Oh, the chapel on the hill is ringing out a call
                                    (F)         (G)
Saying, all you sinner’s come or get ready for a fall
   (C)                                 (F)             (C)
And I’ll be there in a faded dress, but I’ll be looking sweet
                                                 (G)         (C)
And there won’t be a soul who’ll care, there’s no shoes on my feet


Chorus:
       G                            C
Up the mountain of fury, 'cross the river of fear
         F             C               G              C
Down the valley of the shadow, I’ll be running like a deer
       F           C      F            C
When I come to the end of life’s great story

I will walk barefoot through the fields of glory

And there’s not too many folks around who could say that’s all they need
      C                                F             C
Don’t mean to brag about the peaceful, simple life I choose
                                            G                   C
But the roads don’t seem so rough, when I'm wearing high-heeled shoes


Chorus:
       G                            C
Up the mountain of fury, 'cross the river of fear

Verse 3:
N.C.     C                            F              C
Now they say that River Jordan is too wide a swim to dare
                                            F              G
But they used to say our sins were just too big a cross to bear
        C                                  F             C
And you know you’re bound to wander down a dusty winding road
                                             G            C
So the more you give, the less you have, the lighter your load

       G                            C
Up the mountain of fury, 'cross the river of fear

Am  F  E7  Am    F  E7  Am

Verse 1:
                F              E7
They built this club back when I was three
      Am       F           E7  Am
Momma sang for dollars and Daddy drank for free
                      F              E7
While I’d hide in the kitchen eatin’ rich folk’s hors d’oeuvres
    Am                F         E7                  Am
And listenin’ to them talk about Momma's sweet young curves


Chorus:
                 F           E7
Now, Momma was a lady, never did nothin’ wrong
Am              F              D             Am
Lord, could she help it if her legs were too long
                      F                E7
She sang hymns Sunday mornings, but at night she’d sing the blues
       Am    F         D       Am     F  E7  Am
In her satin skirt and dancin’ shoes


Verse 2:
                     F             E7
There’s a picture of Momma hanging over the bar
     Am            F           E7          Am
Papa said that one day he would make her a star
              F   E7
But time goes by, dreams and pictures fade
      Am      F           E7      Am
Cruel drink became Papa’s only crusade


Chorus:
       F         E7
Broken hearts and cigarette smoke
      Am         F         D
Well, I spent my time just growing up broke
    Am          F            E7
I’d wear Papa’s shirt, still smellin’ of the booze
            Am    F         D       Am
And Momma’s satin skirt and dancin’ shoes


Instrumental:
Am  F  E7  Am    F  E7  Am


Verse 3:
                    F        E7
Well, Papa drank himself six feet under dirt
Am             F           E7     Am
Momma, she got tired of her satin skirt
               F           E7
She left it to me with her shoes and a note
      Am         F        E7           Am
“When life is funny”, was all that she wrote


Chorus:
              F         E7
Well, I don't know how I made it this far
  Am           F            D          Am
I didn’t learn much in that lonely old bar
                     F        E7
But I learned how to flirt and to sing the blues
           Am    F         D       Am
In Momma’s satin skirt and dancin’ shoes


Instrumental:
Am  F  E7  Am    F  E7  Am


Chorus:
                     F               E7
Oh, now, Momma was a lady, oh, never did nothin’ wrong
        Am           F            D             Am
But her hair was too wavy and her legs were too long
                   F          E7
She’d look like an angel with nothing left to lose
           Am    F         D       Am
Oh, in her satin skirt and dancin’ shoes
                        F               E7
She’d praise god Sunday morning, but at night she’d sing the blues
     Am    F         D       Am
In a satin skirt and dancin’ shoes

Verse 1:
      Em                         C                  G
Do we close our curtains when we hear our neighbour call
      D                             C             G
So we won’t see him suffer when his back's to the wall?
~     Em                  C               G
Do we sit back silent and watch a brother fall?
      D                      C            G    C   G  C
Do we love so little, we are no friend at all?


Chorus 1:
      D
Do we look right past him
  C               G     ~
Tell him life’s a glass thing
Em                        C      D
Prone to shatter, full of vast unknowns
         G
Where we pay for every last thing

And retribution’s fast sting
Em                  C    D   G          C   G  C
Comes from hands forever casting stones


Verse 2:
      Em                  C           G
Do we cut and condemn and never comprehend
     D                 C       G    ~
That trust can turn into a dividend
    Em                  C             G
And love will leave you richer in the end
         D                      C       G      C   G  C
Or do we love so little, we are no true friend


Chorus 2:
          D
Oh, is it easier to blast him
    C                  G   ~
And spend our time forecasting
     Em                    C             D
That he’ll, no doubt, lose everything he owns
     G
We remember every past thing
    C            G   ~
Our memory’s everlasting
    Em           C    D       G      C   G  C
And so we are forever casting stones

When he looks on luck, do we have to have it
        D                     C        G
When he bends his back, do we reach to stab it
~     Em                       C      G
If he has a little hope, do we always grab it
    D                     C         G       C   G  C
And drag him down, like a hound on a rabbit


Chorus 1:
      D
Do we look right past him
  C               G     ~
Tell him life’s a glass thing
Em                        C      D
Prone to shatter, full of vast unknowns

Where we pay for every last thing

And retribution’s fast sting
Em                  C    D
Comes from hands forever

Track 11 - One Last Dance



Intro:
G  C  D

Verse 1:
           G         Em         C       D
Those blue eyes that shined all over my world
        G            Em         C      D
Somehow seem to have lost their light
          G          Em            C        D
And those lips, they don’t seem to smile anymore
    G             Em          C      D
Not even when I’m holding him tight


Verse 2:
       G           C
I’m no good on the phone
           G         C
And I’m no good all alone
  G          Em           C      D
I need to be close to his heart
           G            C
But I’m no good for him now
             G          C
And he keeps telling me how
     G               C         D       C  D
He’s desperate for a brand new start


Pre-Chorus:
      G           Em             C         D
Lord, help me I’m falling like a burnt out star
       G          Em       C   D
That’s kissed the moon goodbye___
G           Em             C            D
This is the last time I’ll shine in the night
    C                D      G   C  G/B  G  C
The last time you’ll see me cry


Chorus:
     D                       C           G
I’ve tossed away flowers and found love again
    D                C          G
But this time there’s no second chance
Em                     C           D
Don’t want no other boy to love again
           G  C        D               G         C  D    G  C  D
Just want a dozen blue roses and one last dance


Verse 3:
           G   Em     C       D
Where am I now, where was I before
        G      Em         C    D
I can’t even remember my life
             G    Em   C           D
He’s been my world for such a long time
    G           Em          C      D
And leaving him cuts like a knife


Verse 4:
     G              C
I still feel like a child
       G                C
And my heart still runs wild
       G         Em      C    D
Like a river without any end
       G               C
But he don’t love this child
        G                C
Or this heart, rough and wild
         G             C    D      C  D
And it’s too late to begin again


Pre-Chorus:
      G           Em             C         D
Lord, help me I’m falling like a burnt out star
       G          Em       C   D
That’s kissed the moon goodbye___
G           Em             C            D
This is the last time I’ll shine in the night
    C                D      G   C  G/B  G  C
The last time you’ll see me cry


Chorus:
     D                       C           G
I’ve tossed away flowers and found love again
    D                C          G
But this time there’s no second chance
Em                     C           D
Don’t want no other boy to love again
           G  C        D               G         C  D    G  C  D
Just want a dozen blue roses and one last dance
N.C.
Just one last dance

Track 12 - Thank You Very Much


CAPO: 5th Fret



Intro:
G  C  G  D  (3x)
G  C  D  G

Verse 1:
                   C
I slammed shut the old door
  G                 D
I walked across the cold floor
           G              C             G               D
Grabbed my banjo from the corner and my fiddle from the bed
G              C
Tired of being so poor
G             D
I could eat a dinosaur
     G                C              D            G    C  G  D  G
It’s hard to feel the music when you feel so underfed


Verse 2:
              C
I left down a dark lane
  G                D
I looked through a window pane
G              C                 G               D
Saw rich folks sleeping on their satin and their lace
G               C
Folks who never felt the rain
G               D
Folks who never jumped a train
G               C          D     G     C  G  D  G
Folks who never slept on a banjo case


Chorus:
                          F              G
Oh, Momma and Dad passed away when I was little
                         F              G
Momma left the banjo and Daddy left the fiddle
                        F         C
They both left me their Tennessee touch___
           G              F          C          G
And I said thank you very much, very much, very much


Interlude:
Bb F G  F   G   Bb F G   F


Verse 3:
  G            C
I headed for a pawn shop
  G                  D
I thought I’d make a quick swap
        G        C               G          D
I would trade my future for some cash in my pocket
  G             C
Before I got to make my drop
G               D
Something eerie made me stop
    G          C         D              G       C  G  D  G
And bring that fiddle to my chin like a rocket


Verse 4:
                      C
The sound grew like a bad weed
    G             D
And leaped like a swift steed
       G       C              G                    D
Like a runaway wagon, it went coursing through the air
  G                C
I played it like a done deed
  G           D
I sang like a soul freed
  G      C             D      G     C  G  D  G
I wasn’t poor, I was a millionaire


Chorus:
                          F              G
Oh, Momma and Dad passed away when I was little
                         F              G
Momma left the banjo and Daddy left the fiddle
                        F         C
They both left me their Tennessee touch___
           G              F          C          G
And I said thank you very much, very much, very much


Instrumental:

G  C  G  D  (3x)
G  C  D  G  C  G  D  G


Verse 5:
                        C
Oh, it thundered like a stampede
   G               D
It shook me like a bent reed
       G       C              G                    D
Like a runaway wagon, it went coursing through the air
  G                C
I played it like a done deed
  G           D
I sang like a soul freed
  G      C             D      G     C  G  D  G
I wasn’t poor, I was a millionaire


Chorus:
                          F              G
Oh, Momma and Dad passed away when I was little
                         F              G
Momma left the banjo and Daddy left the fiddle
                        F         C
They both left me their Tennessee touch___
           G              F          C          G
And I said thank you very much, very much, very much
N.C.
