                    FF        C majorC
I've lived with the decent folks in the hills of old Vermont
               G+G
Where what you do all day, depends on what you want
   C majorC                   FF       C majorC
And I took up with a full grown man, though I was still a kid
                     G+G       C majorC
And I smile like the sun to think of the loving that we did

                       FF        C majorC
He rose each morning and went to work and he kept me with his pay
                   G+G
Well, I was making love all night and playing guitar all day
     C majorC                  FF        C majorC
And I made apple cider and home-made bread, to make the man say grace
                     G+G       C majorC
In a house that he built by hand, with a warm feet fireplace


CHORUS: FF
       C majorC     G+G
Yankee man so good to me
         C majorC   FF
Yankee man just a memory
       C majorC     G+G
Yankee man so good to me
        FF     C majorC
The memory is enough for me


INTERLUDE: C majorC FF G+G C majorC


                    FF        C majorC
An Autumn walk on a country road with a million flaming trees
                     G+G
Well I was feeling uneasy, lord, there was Winter in the breeze
      C majorC                FF          C majorC
And he said, "Oh baby, look over there, the birds are southward bound
              G+G        C majorC
Oh baby, I am so afraid to lose the love we found"

CHORUS: FF
       C majorC     G+G
Yankee man so good to me
         C majorC   FF
Yankee man just a memory
       C majorC     G+G
Yankee man so good to me
        FF     C majorC
The memory is enough for me


INTERLUDE: C majorC FF G+G C majorC (2x)


                    FF        C majorC
I've lived with the decent folks in the hills of old Vermont
               G+G
Where what you do all day, depends on what you want
   C majorC                   FF       C majorC
And I took up with a full grown man, though I was still a kid
                     G+G       C majorC
And I smile like the sun to think of the loving that we did
                     G+G       C majorC
And I smile like the sun to think of the loving that we did
                     G+G       C majorC
And I smile like the sun to think of the loving that we did
