Tom : G
G D Em Bm C D G
[Verse 1]
G D Em Bm
Way up north, where the snow flies
C D G D
And the sun don't hardly shine
G D Em Bm
If it weren't for, my true love
C G D
I'd have long ago lost my mind
G D
I'd have long ago lost my mind
[Verse 2]
G D Em Bm
There's good folks here and good folks there
C D G D
most everywhere I go
G D Em Bm
But the land of my heart is down
C G D
where the snow white cotton grows
G D
where the snow white cotton grows
[Chorus]
C Bm Am G
When the river runs over from the melting snow
C D G
we will take to the higher ground
C Bm Am G
when the water goes down again, we'll saddle our old paint
C D G
we'll be homeward bound
C Bm D G
me and my love will be homeward bound
[Solo]
G D Em Bm C D G D G D Em Bm C G D G
[Verse 3]
G D Em Bm
Heartstrings hold tighter than the roots of a live oak tree
C D G D
holding through tornado wind
G D Em Bm
tougher than timber, stronger than steel
C G D
they'll guide me back southward again
G D
they'll guide me back southward again
[Chorus]
