Hi there. The chords to this song are easy, it’s just a matter of listening to the
playing along, and learning the rhythms. Try playing a soft, slightly syncopated arpeggio
the verses and louder open chords during the chorus. Enjoy!

Carbon Leaf – Blue Ridge Laughing
Verse 1:
G D A G D A
Caught a red moon rise, brought me to our lives
G D A G
A
We used to drive this Blue Ridge laughing…
The red star is Mercury or Venus
To tell the truth, I don't really know
Space brings back boyish wonder
And if we run, we run behind
Run, we run behind
Chorus:
A G D A
And if you're thinkin' you'll run, you'll run behind
G D A
And if you're thinkin' you'll run, you'll run behind
Bm A G D A
G
And if we live our lives so wild and free (lie, lie, lie)
D A Bm A G
A Bm A
We run behind
Verse 2:
Saw you at the reunion
Thought at first you were single
So many questions, should I ask you?
To tell the truth, I don't really know
It's easy to run with these feelings
And if we run, we run behind
Saw you at the reunion…
Chorus
Verse 3:
We meet the people that change our lives
Our hidden glance and grin remain the same
You will return to your life now
And I will return to the page
We used to drive this Blue Ridge laughing
So welcome to this universal blanket
She is breathing silver night
Space brings back boyish wonder
And my dreams just grew back to normal size
And my dreams just grew back to normal size
I am unearthed and no longer scared
I am unearthed and no longer care
I am unearthed…
Outro:
On and on, on… On and on, on… On and on, on…
