-INTRO- C7CC7C F9maj7
-VERSE- C7C Well I rode the green across this country. C7C Horses lived and died to take me F9 Men I killed to help me get there, further west I died to take me. C7C Blackened face and dirty laundry. C7C Many days since I have eaten. F9 Found myself a family.
Broke my back so I could feed them.
-CHORUS- C7CC7C High in the wind. F9 Standing in the sun. C7CC7C We're gonna' raise up the heavens. F9 With a shovel and a gun. Am I was so much younger then. C I would never ever listen. Am I am so much older now. C I thought that things would end up different. AmG Farewell, lover in green.
-VERSE- C7C Elizabeth she is my lady. C7C Says the prayers and does the learnin'. F9 Waking up all the children.
Making love in early morning. C7C We took to building up the cities. C7C We built the churches in our cities. F9 Happy in the green country.
And in the green they buried me.
-REPEAT CHORUS-
-BRIDGE- AmCAmC Oh. She sang hymns that made me cry. AmC Oh. She danced so tender. AmCG As I held you in the green. *Bridge ends with a flurry of notes I do not know. -INTRO CHORDS WITH HARMONICA IN C- -SPOKEN VERSE- C7CC7C Well I'm dead now. F9 My wife Elizabeth is at my side. C7CC7 C I've got children all around me. F9 I've got grandchildren. C7CC7C I've got great grandchildren. F9 I've got great great grandchildren. C7CC7 C Too many for me to remember. F9 Maybe one of them is you?
