Intro 1

Verse 1
G 
Just
C 
D 
across the Blue Ridge
G 
Em 
where the high meadows lay
C 
And the Gaelic spreads
D 
G 
through the new mown hay
C 
D 
There's a rusty iron bridge
G 
Em 
across a shady ravine
A 
Where the hard road ends
D 
and turns to clay
Bm 
C 
With a suitcase in his hand
G 
Em 
there along some boy stands
A 
Gazing at the river
D 
sliding by beneath his feet
C 
D 
But the dark water springs
G 
Em 
through the black rocks and flows
C 
D 
Out of sight where the twisted laurel grows
G 
C 
D 
G 
B 
Em 
C 
D 
G 
C 
D 
Pass the cold tepple towns
G 
Em 
in the cold December rain
C 
Into Charleston runs the
D 
G 
new river train
C 
Where the hillsides are brown
D 
G 
Em 
and the broad valleys stain
A 
D 
My 100 ,000 lives of work and pain
C 
In a  tar paper shack
G 
B 
Em 
Out of town across the track
B 
Em 
A 
Stanton Hall used a man
D 
Trying to call something back
C 
D 
But his old memories stain
G 
Em 
Like the city in the haze
C 
And his days have run to
D 
G 
gether like the rain
C 
D 
And the dark water springs
G 
B 
Em 
through the black rocks and flows
C 
D 
Out of sight where the twisted laurel grows
G
