Chords with lyrics
Cumberland Sound
E MajorE A augmentedA
This old hound is St. Mary?s bound
BB A augmentedA E MajorE
And this old hound has still got a ways to go
E MajorE A augmentedA
Spend the first half of your just trying to run away
BB E MajorE BB
Spend the second half just trying to get back home
Chorus:
E MajorE A augmentedA
To the Cumberland Sound
BB E MajorE
Someday I?ll cross that river and settle down
C# minorC#m A augmentedA BB E MajorE F#min
Like voices from the timber, I can?t get it out of my head
A augmentedA
It?s all I hear
E MajorE A augmentedA BB E MajorE
E MajorE A augmentedA
Cotton ain?t the king no more, Kudzu is
BB A augmentedA E MajorE
It?s swallowing up the land and choking off the life
E MajorE A augmentedA
Inch by inch it pushed me to the precipice
BB E MajorE BB
Gonna wade right in that water and float on down
Chorus:
E MajorE A augmentedA
This old hound is St. Mary?s bound
BB A augmentedA E MajorE
And this old hound ain?t nowhere near there yet
E MajorE A augmentedA
But the ground been frozen since the new year
BB E MajorE BB
And the cold dry airs like Arsenic in my veins
Chorus:
E MajorE A augmentedA
Cumberland Sound
E MajorE A augmentedA
Cumberland Sound
C# minorC#m A augmentedA BB E MajorE
