Green Mountains And Me chords by Slaid Cleaves

intro: D (repeat)

Verse 1
Am
You're on the other side of the world tonight
D
But under the same cold stars
Am
And tonight I'll dream you right back home
D
To this little life of ours

Am
We'll walk hand in hand through fields of green
D

Just like we did last year
Am
But it's so hard to wake up every day
D
And watch as your dreams disappear

Pre Chorus 1
D
It's quiet here, your little boy's asleep
D
He looks more like you every day

Chorus
Em
Won’t you come back, come back my darlin’
Em
Each night I pray on bended knee
Em
Won't you come back to the Green Mountains and me

G

Follow same pattern for the rest of song

Verse 2
I see a car winding up the driveway
Up to your parents' place
The old man looks up from his raking
As the color drains from your mama's face

Cryin' softly by the window now
While your daddy shakes the soldiers hands
Their taillights disappear into the woods below
He's frozen in the doorway where he stands

Pre-Chorus 2
In the twilight, in the silent snow
I hear you singing in my ear

Chorus
Won't you come back, come back my darlin’
Each night I pray on a bended knee
Won’t you come back to the Green Mountains and me

Verse 3
The seasons come and the seasons go
We live from day to day
And I lose a little bit of myself
With each tear I wipe away

Pre-Chorus 3
People on the street used to stop and chat
Now they look down and walk on by

Chorus
Won't you come back, come back my darlin’
Each night I pray on a bended knee
Won’t you come back to the Green Mountains and me
