Merrimack County

	  		D 
Way up north by the ice bound ocean 
      C   C/B C/A C/G   D 
I was born        I was born 
D 
Way up north in the Merrimack county 
          C    C/B C/A C/G       D     C C/B C/A C/G D 
That's my home         that's my home 
D 
When I was younger and in my schooling 
             C         C/B C/A  C/G     D 
I walked the mountains          made of stone 
D 
The distance sang about tomorrow 
      C  C/B C/A C/G                   D     C C/B C/A C/G  D 
And I did         wish I was grown and gone 
D 
Well as I grew indeed I rambled 
    C     C/B C/A C/G      D 
Out along         the open road 
D 
There I learned the rainbow circle 
           C    C/B C/A  C/G     D     C C/B C/A C/G  D 
It's truly said that's a sign of storm 
D 
Now I'm old my dreams they wander 
    C    C/B  C/A C/G     D     
Far away in       yesterday 
D 
I'm going home to the Merrimack county 
              C     C/B   C/A C/G         D   C C/B  C/A C/G  D 
And  find the grass that      hides my grave 
D 
So let the birds fly down the valley 
        C      C/B  C/A C/G D  
Let the storms roam on  the sea 
D 
I was born to the rainbow circle 
      C                C/B  C/A C/G  D 
Stoney mountain that's home     to   me
