5 6 5 -4 4 5 -4 4 -4 4 4
Bein` born in-- blocks of--- buildings,
5 -4 -4 5 -4 4 -6 -6 6 5 -6 6
with a sub~~~~~~ way lul-la-bye
5 6 5-4 4 -4 4 5-4 4-4 4 4
When I dreamed of-- Ap-pal-a-chia
5 -4 -4 5 -4 4 -6 -6 6 5 6-6
it was dreams~~~~~~~ That had to die
6 -6 7 -6 6 -6 5 -4 4
Coal trains wail~~~in` banjos frailing
6 -6 7 -6 6 8-8 8-8 7
Sounds es-cap~~~in` through the night
8 -8 -8 8 -8 7 -6 6-6 6 5 -6 5
But the Face~~~~~~` of Ap - pa-la-chia
-4 5-4 4 5 -4 -4 5 -4 4 4 5 -4 4 4
was there-- in that grey~~~~~ apartment life

I would fashion I`d imagine
Some-where steeped in water-falls
Wild birds sing to a five string
Bouncin` music off mountain walls
Coal trains wailin` banjos frailing
Sounds escapein` through the door
But the Face Of Appalachia was there
she was changin` that`s for
5-4 5 6-6 5 -4 4-4 5-4 4 5 -4 4 4
sure~~~~~ she was changin` that`s for sure.

Grand pa made me quite a promise
For the day I came of age
He said we`d walk through Appalachia
Northern Georgia all through to Maine
Dreadfull sorry my beloved
Such a promise couldn`t keep
All my dreams of Appalachia
Just an old mans memories
Just an old mans memories |
