Julie Miller - Face Of Appalachia
Capo 4
[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G Em
Being born in blocks of buildings
F C G
With a subway lullaby
G Em
When I dreamed of Appalachia
F C G
It was dreams that had to die
Em G
Coal trains wailing, banjos frailing
Em G
Sounds escaping the night
F C G
Oh, the face of Appalachia
F C G
Was there in that cold grey apartment light
F C G
In that cold grey apartment light
[Verse 2]
G Em
Oh, I would fashion, I'd imagine
F C G
Somewhere steep with a waterfall
G Em
Wild birds sing to a five string
F C G
Bouncing music off the mountain's walls
Em G
Coal trains wailing, banjos frailing
Em G
Sounds escaping through the door
F C G
Oh the face of Appalachia
F C G
She was changing, that's for sure
F C G
She was changing, that's for sure
[Instrumental]
Em G Em G F C G F C G
[Verse 3]
G Em
Grandpa made me quite a promise
F C G
For the day I came of age
G Em
He said he'd walk through Appalachia
F C G
Northern Georgia up to Maine
Em G
Dreadful sorry, my beloved
Em G
Such a promise he could not keep
F C G
All my dreams of Appalachia
F C G
Were just an old man's memory
F C G
Were just an old man's memory
