CAPO I (all chords relative)

Note: the chord name “D7/9(1,2,3,(5),b7)” is too cumbersome for a tab, so I

abbreviated it to “D7/9”…and essentially, it’s a C7 which, in this

song, is slid up two frets following a C for a sweet slide sound…it’s fairly

common in Americana/Folk music and sounds really, really cool.

Intro: G D G (2x)

Verse 1:

G

Rain beatin’ down on a midnight moon

C

Oh baby, I’ll be leavin’ soon

G

Take me away

G

The winds are howlin’ like an old freight train

C

Oh babe these are the winds of change

G

Take me away

Chorus:

C

‘Cause I’ve been sittin’ on the front porch

G

Watchin’ the world go ‘round

C Em

Through the eyes of a fool, head like a rock

G D D/C D/B D/A

My whole world tumbling down

G

Rain beatin’ down on a midnight moon

C (slide) D7/9

Oh baby, I’ll be leaving soon

G

Take me away

Solo (play intro)

Verse 2:

Grass around your ankles in the field before the flood

You’re a rough-cut diamond in the Mississippi mud

Take me away

I’m a two-time loser with my guitar and my gun

You’re a mover and a shaker and a lover in the sun

Take me away

Chorus
