Matraca Berg - Appalacian Rain guitar chord

A D A F#m

He came into to town in the early springtime

A E A

to work with my daddy down in the mines

D

It was hot in the summer when he said good-bye

A E A

and he left me a secret I can no longer hide...

D A F#m

Now the only thing here that is welcoming me

A E A

is a cold rainy morning and a Greyhound bus seat

D

He just had to come back and try to explain

A E A

Cry for your daughter Appalacian rain...

CHORUS:

D A D

Mountains of sorrow , mountains of pain

A E A

you'll never give for my baby a name

D A D Dsus2

my family's honor , took it away

A E A

cry for your daughter , Appalacian rain...

VERSE 2

A D A F#m

I was washed in the blood in the river you filled

A E A

Now the sound of a shotgun rings through the hills

D

and the blood of her father runs through it's veins

A E A

Cry for your daughter , Appalacian rain...

CHORUS REPETED;Then the ending;

D A D Dsus2

Tears in the holler , tears of my shame

A E A

Cry for your daughter , Appalacian rain...
