Here is another version a found looking at the guitar player (Capo : 5th fret) G Em Hush now, don't you wake up G Em We'll be leaving at first light Am G Mama's buying you a mockingbird Bm C To lull you through the night G Em We'll cross the Dan by morning G Em Here's a blanket for you to share Am G They're building down in Georgia Bm C Daddy hears he'll find work there [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/c/carolina-chocolate-drops/371891.html ] [--------------BEGIN CHORUS---------------] Am G And the mockingbird can't sing Bm C Like the crying of a dove Am G And I can't tell my daughters Em All the things that I'm scared of C G Bm C But I am not afraid of that bright glory up above Am G Bm C Dying's just another way to leave the ones you love [--------------END CHORUS---------------] G Em No work for the working man G Em Just one more empty mill Am G Hard times in Rockingham Bm C Hard times harder still G Em The crows are in the kitchen G Em The wolves at the door Am G Bm C Our fathers' land of Eden is paradise no more [CHORUS] [INSTURMENTAL] G Em My sister stayed in Eden G Em Her husband's got some land Am G Bm C An agent for the county thinks that they might make a stand G Em A hard life of working G Em With nothing much to show Am G Bm C A long life of leaving with nowhere to go [CHORUS] |
