Goin' Back To Harlan

	  		


  (Intro) Am  C  F  G  (2x) 

  (verse 1) 

      Am                 C  
There were no cuckoos, no sycamores. 
   F                G            
We played about the forest floor 
Dm               C  
  underneath the silver maples, 
G                     Am  
  the balsams and the sky. 

  (verse 2)
 
   Am                   C  
We popped the heads off dandelions, 
  F                 G  
assuming roles from nursery rhymes. 
Dm              C  
  Rested on the riverbank, 
G                    Am 
  and grew up by and by. 
G                    Am  Am 
  And grew up by and by

C  
  Frail my heart apart, 
    G  
and play me a little Shady Grove. 
C  
  Ring the bells of rhymney, 
         G  
til they ring inside my head forever. 
C                          G  
  Bounce the bow, rock the gallows 
                  Am  
for the hangman's reel. 
    G                       C        G 
And wake the devil from his dre-eeee-eam 

 
                 C                G 
I'm goin back to Harlan, oh oh oh oh 
                 C                G 
I'm goin back to Harlan, oh oh oh oh 
                  Am      Am   
I'm going back to Harlan 


  (verse 3) 
Am              C  
And if you were Willie Moore 
    F             G             
and I was Barbara Allen, 
       Dm                    C  
or Fair Ellen all sad at the cabin door 
  G                        Am  
a-weeping and a-pinin' for love. 
  G                        Am    Am 
A-weeping and a-pinin' for love.
