Heartstrings

	  		
Intro: G D Em Bm C D G 

verse 1 
G      D                Em   Bm 
Way up north, where the snow flies 
        C         D      G      D 
And the sun don't hardly shine 
G             D    Em      Bm 
If it weren't for, my true love 
         C         G      D 
I'd have long ago lost my mind 
                          G      D    
I'd have long ago lost my mind 


verse 2 
        G          D         Em         Bm 
There's good folks here and good folks there 
C         D       G    D 
most everywhere I go 
         G    D     Em       Bm 
But the land of my heart is down 
          C           G      D 
where the snow white cotton grows 
                             G    D 
where the snow white cotton grows 


         C          Bm            Am      G 
When the river runs over from the melting snow 
        C           D      G 
we will take to the higher ground 
         C          Bm                Am         G      
when the water goes down again, we'll saddle our old paint 
C        D        G 
we'll be homeward bound 
       C       Bm      D        G 
me and my love will be homeward bound 



Solo: G D Em Bm C D G D G D Em Bm C G D G 


verse 3 
G                 D                 Em         Bm 
Heartstrings hold tighter than the roots of a live oak tree 
C               D       G     D 
holding through tornado wind 
G            D        Em           Bm 
tougher than timber, stronger than steel 
        C              G         D 
they'll guide me back southward again 
                                 G     D 
they'll guide me back southward again 

 
         C          Bm            Am      G 
When the river runs over from the melting snow 
        C           D      G 
we will take to the higher ground 
         C          Bm                Am         G      
when the water goes down again, we'll saddle our old paint 
C        D        G 
we'll be homeward bound 
       C       Bm      D        G 
me and my love will be homeward bound
