"YOU CAN'T GO HOME AGAIN," by Nanci Griffith
GA7 * So much silence to my hometown streets D7G Gonna put my cheek to the window and watch it sleep GA7 * Where the shadows fall from sycamore trees D7G Fight off this north wind and I'll be headin' back east
(chorus)
CBmAmG Let the Colorado River roll on to the sea CBm Dsus7** I will be crossing it in changes CBmAmG This 'ole town never did really care that much for me CBm Dsus7** G I don't know why I always come here in my dreams
It's the hardest to hold but it's the easiest to find If you'll slip for the dollar I'll fall in your wine But you cannot save your past for today It will leave you cold on an outbound train
(chorus)
Folded memories in my soul It's that old blue line that you can never go back home So I'm waiting for the moon to rise He'll kiss my tears away and set my heart in line
(chorus)
CBmAmG Let the Colorado River roll on to the sea CBm Dsus7** I will be crossing it in changes CBmAmG This 'ole town never did really care that much for me CBm Dsus7** G I only come here to remember my dreams
