Leaving Eden Carolina Chocolate Drops
Here is another version a found looking at the guitar player
(Capo : 5th fret)
[G]Hush now, don't you[Em] wake up
We'll be [G]leaving at [Em]first light
Mama's [Am]buying you a [G]mockingbird
To [Bm]lull you thr[C]ough the night
We'll [G]cross the Dan by [Em]morning
Here's a [G]blanket for you to [Em]share
They're [Am]building down in [G]Georgia
Daddy [Bm]hears he'll fi[C]nd work there
[--------------BEGIN CHORUS---------------]
And the [Am]mockingbird can't [G]sing
Like the [Bm]crying of a d[C]ove
And [Am]I can't tell my d[G]aughters
All the [Em]things that I'm scared of
But [C]I am not a[G]fraid of that bright [Bm]glory up a[C]bove
[Am]Dying's just a[G]nother way to [Bm]leave the [C]ones you love
[--------------END CHORUS---------------]
No [G]work for the [Em]working man
Just [G]one more empty [Em]mill
[Am]Hard times in [G]Rockingham
[Bm]Hard times ha[C]rder still
The [G]crows are in the [Em]kitchen
The [G]wolves at the d[Em]oor
Our [Am]fathers' land of [G]Eden is [Bm]parad[C]ise no more
(CHORUS)
(INSTURMENTAL)
My [G]sister stayed in[Em] Eden
Her [G]husband's got som[Em]e land
An [Am]agent for the [G]county thinks that [Bm]they might make a [C]stand
A [G]hard life of [Em]working
With [G]nothing much to [Em]show
A [Am]long life of [G]leaving with [Bm]nowher[C]e to go
(CHORUS)
