Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
this is a beautiful song by Mason Jennings called "Duluth". It may not be the perfect but it sounds really close to the original I think at least. Should be fine when played on acoustic guitar,hope you guys like it!
"Duluth"
EmAmEm Nobody says the things he says G Nobody moves like he moves EmAmEm Nobody makes me feel this way CG I'm going to marry that boy, oh lord CEm I'm going to marry that boy
Oh my mother said to me Girl you better watch yourself 'cause a railroad man is an absent man I'm going to marry that boy, oh lord I'm going to marry that boy
Chorus: GAmEm We'll live in a little town D North of Duluth
Where my grandmother Lived in her youth When he comes home at night He'll call to me My sweet darling girl Come lay with me
3rd stanza:
And oh mother nothing compares Nothing even comes close To the way he comes up under me I'm going to marry that boy, oh lord I'm going to marry that boy
Chorus:
Marry him in his easter clothes Marry me in white Beneath a canopy Of unearthly light And our friends and family Will all come to say God bless this union God bless this day
4th stanza:
Soon his burdens will be mine Soon this love will set us free All my hope lies with him now I'm going to marry that boy, oh lord I'm going to marry that boy I'm going to marry that boy, oh lord I'm going to marry that boy
