Picker's Lament
Capo: 5
[Intro]: C G Am
F G C
C G Am
[Verse]: Well I came here to see you this mornin',
F G C
And they told me that you'd moved away.
C G Am
I was hopin' that I'd get to see you,
F G C
We had many things left to say.
C G Am
We played 20 years on the road then,
F G C
Many places I can't quite recall.
C G Am
It was the best of times then and I'd do it again,
F G C
But time robs the choice from us all.
[Break]: C G Am F G C
C G Am
I guess that the boys have all drifted away,
F G C
I guess that we'll never quite know
C G Am
But I'm hopin' they're playin' in some little bar,
F G C
It makes me feel good to think so.
Doo do doo 2x: C G Am F G C
D A Bm Bm/A
Well I came here this mornin' to see you
G A D
I've been travelin' from so far away
D A Bm Bm/A
I needed to see you just one more time
G A D
I needed to know what you'd say
D A Bm Bm/A
Did we ever make hearts sore with feeling?
G A D
Did we ever bring a tear to their eye?
D A Bm Bm/A
Were the songs that we played just some vague masquerade
G A D
As we'd grab for their money and ride?
Doo do doo: D A Bm Bm/A G A D
D A Bm Bm/A
Well I came here to see you this mornin',
G A D
But they told me that you'd moved away.
D A Bm Bm/A
I was hopin' that I'd get to see you,
G A D
We had many things left to say.
