Chords with lyrics

CAPO 3RD John Prine My Darling Hometown
Intro: John plays A augmentedA but I think A7A7 works well to
D MajorD EM A7A7 D MajorD X2

D MajorD         EM
Far away over the sea
     A7A7           D MajorD
There's a river that's calling to me
   D MajorD         EM
That river she runs all around
  A7A7            D MajorD
The place that I call my hometown


     D MajorD             EM
There's a valley on the side of the hill
  A7A7           D MajorD
And flowers on an old windowsill
 D MajorD            EM
A augmentedA familiar old picture it seems
  A7A7             D MajorD
And I'll go there tonight in my dreams

      G+G
Where it's green in the summer
  D MajorD
And gold in the fall
  E MajorE
Her eyes are as blue
    A7A7     HOLD FOR 2 BARS
As the sky I recall

D MajorD         EM
Far away over the sea
     A7A7           D MajorD
There's a place at the table for me
   D MajorD         EM
Where laughter and music abound
   A7A7           D MajorD
Just waiting there in my hometown


  G+G
The river she freezes
       D MajorD
When there's snow on the ground
    E MajorE
And the children can slide
    A7A7      HOLD FOR 2 BARS
To the far side of town

(Repeat Intro)


D MajorD         EM
Far away far away me
A7A7           D MajorD
Hung up on a sweet memory
  D MajorD           EM
I'm lost and I wish I were found
    A7A7           D MajorD
In the arms of my darlin' hometown


     G+G
With the evening sun sittin'
    D MajorD
On the top of the hill
    E MajorE
And the mockingbird answering
  A7A7       HOLD FOR 2 BARS
The old chapel bell


D MajorD         EM
Far away over the sea
  A7A7         D MajorD
My heart is longing to be
   D MajorD            EM
And I wish I could lay myself down
    A7A7           D MajorD
In the arms of my darlin' hometown

D MajorD EM A7A7 D MajorD
