John Prine - My Darlin' Hometown guitar chord

MY DARLIN HOMETOWN

JOHN PRINE

F Gm

Far away over the sea

F

Theres a river thats callin to me

Gm

That river she runs all around

C7 F

That place that I call my hometown

Thers a valley onthe side

Of the hill

And flowers on an old windowsill

A familiar old picture it seems

And Ill go there tonight

In my dreams

BRIDGE 1:

Bb

Where its green in the summer

F

And gold in the fall

G7

Her eyes are as blue

C7

As the sky I recall

VERSE

Far away over the sea

Theres a place ath the table

For me

Where theres laughter and music abound

Just waitin there

In my hometown

BRIDGE 2:

The river she freezes

When theres snow on the gorund

And the children can slide

To the far side of town

VERSE

Far away far away from me

Hung up on a sweet memory

Im lost and I wish I were found

In the arms of my darlin hometown

BRIDGE 3:

With the evenin sun sittin

On top of the hill

And the mockingbird answerin

The old chapel bell

LAST VERSE

Far away over the sea

My heart is longin to be

And I wish I could lay myself down

In the arms of my darlin hometown
