Caroline Herring - Wise Woman
CAPO: 5th Fret
INTRO: C G F C (4x)
CHORUS:
I went up to the mountain
F C F
And I came back a wise woman
C F G C
Went to the river, came back wiser still
F C F
Only to see, you're as dear to me as the air I breathe
C F G C
Won't you meet me at that mansion on the hill
G F
Stuffed your mattress and wove your sheets
C
Patched your blanket, piece by piece
F C F G
If the lord had granted me a choice, I'd a held up my hand
C G F
We ground the corn, moulded lard and lye
C F
Had ten children and watched four die
C G C
I'll stand beside you when you meet the promised land
CHORUS:
Because I went up to the mountain
F C F
And I came back a wise woman
C F G C
Went to the river, came back wiser still
F C F
Only to see, you're as dear to me as the air I breathe
C F G C
Won't you meet me at that mansion on the hill
INSTRUMENTAL: F C F C F G C F C F C F G C
G F
Danced to the fiddle on a Saturday night
C F
And chopped the cotton before daylight
C F G
The sun don't go down on a poor man's woes
C G F
But my love, if you don't meet the dawn
C F
I promise you, I'll carry on
C G C
Singing, 'Precious Memories', as I plant along the rows
CHORUS:
Because I went up to the mountain
F C F
And I came back a wise woman
C F G C
Went to the river, came back wiser still
F C F
Only to see, you're as dear to me as the air I breathe
C F G C
Won't you meet me at that mansion on the hill
F C
Won't you meet me at the mansion on the hill
F C
Won't you meet me at the mansion on the hill
