THE LOWLANDS Nitty Grity Dirt Band
(featuring Jaime Hanna and Jonathan McEuen)
Intro: Vamp on C#m using suggested finger picking pattern above
I'm he[C#m]aded for the lowlands would you please direct my w[E]ay
The tr[B]ain is leaving shortly there's no time for de-[C#m]lay
She t[C#m]old me shd'd be waiting I'm not so sure she i[E]s
I he[B]ard that there's another man who claims that she is [C#m]his
CHORUS:
The low[C#m]lands were my ho[B]me when I was but a c[C#m]hild
they will be my dea[B]thbed when I've passed my t[C#m]ime
I rem[C#m]ember one summer day the clouds began to bu[E]ild
We gat[B]hered the cattle that had scattered cross the f[C#m]ields
Well it st[C#m]arted to rain and continued several da[E]ys
The river over-fl[B]owed and the crops all went to w[C#m]aste
to chorus
You k[C#m]now that I'm no failure through my victories are fe[E]w
I'm try[B]ing my best but there's too much here to [C#m]do
That g[C#m]irl I love once told me I made her feel se-c[E]ure
It's ha[B]rd to think I've been replaced. Nothing does en-d[C#m]ure.
to chorus
