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

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


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


INTERLUDE: C  F  G  C


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


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

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