Cumberland Sound


E                      A
This old hound is St. Mary?s bound
     B                  A                   E
And this old hound has still got a ways to go
 E                                           A
Spend the first half of your just trying to run away
  B                                             E   B
Spend the second half just trying to get back home

Chorus:
                    E    A
To the Cumberland Sound
   B                                      E
Someday I?ll cross that river and settle down
     C#m               A         B           E          F#min
Like voices from the timber, I can?t get it out of my head
            A
It?s all I hear

E A B E

E                                A
Cotton ain?t the king no more, Kudzu is
 B                                 A             E
It?s swallowing up the land and choking off the life
  E                                 A
Inch by inch it pushed me to the precipice
       B                                     E    B
Gonna wade right in that water and float on down

Chorus:

  E                    A
This old hound is St. Mary?s bound
     B               A                       E
And this old hound ain?t nowhere near there yet
 E                                       A
But the ground been frozen since the new year
     B                                     E   B
And the cold dry airs like Arsenic in my veins

Chorus:
E              A
Cumberland Sound
E              A
Cumberland Sound
 C#m       A         B           E
