Durham Town

	  		
  C         G        F           G 
I`ve got to leave old Durham town,  

 C          F        G          C 
I `ve got to leave old Durham town. 

             E        Am         F 
I`ve got to leave old Durham town,  

        C           G          C 
and the leaving`s gonna get me down.
 
    C           G          F      G 
1. I  remember back in forty-four,  

    C          E                    Am         E 
    I remember Daddy walking out the door. 

       C             G                 F          G                 Am 
    Mama told me he was going to war, he was leaving,  

      E 
    leaving, leaving, leaving, leaving me, now.     

    C            G        F            G 
2. When I was a boy, I spent my time,  

      C                   E                Am    E 
    sitting on the banks of the river side. 

       C                       G                 F            G                      Am 
    Watching all the ships going down  the line, they were leaving,  

      E 
    leaving, leaving, leaving, leaving me, now.  
  

    C            G     F        G 
3. The last week Mama passed away,  

    C        E           Am          E 
    good-bye, son, was all she`d say. 

    C          G           F        G                Am 
    There`s no cause for me to stay, so I`m leaving,  

      E 
    leaving, leaving, leaving, leaving free, now.
