[G]I am an orphan, on God's [D]highway

But I'll share my [G]troubles, if you go [C]my way

[G]I am an o[D]rphan g[G]irl

I have had friendships, pure and golden

But the ties of kinship, I have not know them

I know no mother, no father, no sister, no brother

I am an orphan girl

VERSE 3:

But when he calls me, I will be able

To meet my family, at God's table

I'll meet my mother, my father, my sister, my brother

No more an orphan girl

VERSE 4:

Blessed savior, make me willing

And walk beside me, until I'm with them

Be my mother, my father, my sister, my brother

I am an orphan girl

CHORUS:

We c[C]annot have all things to [G]please us, no [D]matter how we [Em]try

Until[C] we've all gone to [G]Jesus, we can o[D]nly wonder w[Em]hy[C] [D] [Em]

I had a daughter called her Annabelle

She's the apple of my eye

Tried to give her something like I never had

Didn't want to ever hear her cry

From every day I've ever known

Anna's in the churchyard she got no life at all

Track 3 from "REVIVAL" (Almo, AMSD-80006)

VERSE 1:

I've got an [D]old V - 8, from the year I was born

Don't l[G]ook like much, just a [F]flat black [Em7]Ford

But the [D]engine's clean, I could paint her some day

But [G]most of the time, I think I [F]like her this [Em7]way

CHORUS:

Don't [G]turn no heads, don't catch no eye

I'm just a [D]wind on the road, gonna pass you [Bb]by[F] [Em7] [D]

VERSE 2:

Well I used to talk tough, and I used to get loud

Want to paint my name, all over this town

But folks lined up, just to dog my day

Now if I stay quiet, they stay out of my way

(CHORUS)

VERSE 3:

I got a brand new plan, gonna help myself

'Cause it's the fat man's turn, gonna share the wealth

Put the money in the bag, and keep your hands in sight

Turn around, count to ten, I'll go back into the night

(CHORUS)

CODA:

Don't call for help, don't scream, don't cry

Just a wind on the road, gonna pass you by.

BARROOM GIRLS (Gillian Welch / David Rawlings)

Track 4 from "REVIVAL" (Almo, AMSD - 80006)

CAPO 5

VERSE 1:

Oh the [G]night came undone like a party dress

And fell at her feet in a beautiful [D]mess

The [G]smoke and the whiskey came home in her [C]curls

And they crept through the d[G]reams of the [D]barroom [G]girls[D]

VERSE 2:

Well she tosses and turns because the sun is unkind

And the heat of the day is coming in thru the blinds

But leave all the blue skies for the rest of the world

Because the neon will shine for the barroom girls

BRIDGE:

Oh the [D]barroom girls go [G]by your side

Like the [A]ponies who pass on a [D]carousel ride

And [G]all of the colors go 'round in a [C]swirl

When you dance in the [G]arms of the [D]barroom [G]girls[D]

VERSE 3:

Now she rolls to her feet when she can't sleep no more

And looks at her clothes lying out on the floor

Last night's spangles and yesterday's pearls

Are the bright morning stars of the barroom girls

Last night's spangles and yesterday's pearls

Are the bright morning stars of the barroom girls

[C]A long time ag[G]o I left my [C]home

For a j[F]ob in the f[C]ruit trees

But I [C]missed those hills with the [G]windy p[C]ines

For their s[F]ong seemed to [C]suit me

VERSE 2:

So I [C]sent my wages [G]to my [C]home

And said we'd s[F]oon be t[C]ogether

For the n[C]ext good crop would [G]pay my w[C]ay

And I would c[F]ome home f[C]orever

CHORUS:

[Am]One [G]more [F]dime to [G]show for my [C]day

[Am]One [G]more [F]dollar and [G]I'm on my w[C]ay

When I [Am]reach [G]those [F]hills, [G]boys, I'll never [C]roam

[Am]One [G]more [F]dollar a[G]nd I'm going ho[C]me

VERSE 3:

No work said the boss at the bunk house door,

There's a freeze on the branches,

So when the dice came out at the bar downtown,

I rolled and I took my chances

(CHORUS)

VERSE 4:

A long time ago I left my home

Just a boy passing twenty

Could you spare a coin and a Christian prayer

For my luck has turned against me

A man of riches, may claim a crown of jewels

[G]Paper wings, all torn and [D]bent

But you made me feel like they were heaven [G]sent

Paper [G]wings, not real at [D]all

But they took me high enough to really f[G]all

Your pa[C]per kisses, faded too[G] soon

Just like a[A] paper rose, [D]beneath a paper moon

Paper [G]wings, paper [C]wings

Oh [D]how could I expect to fly with only paper [G]wings

Angels s[C]inging, didn't you [G]hear

If only I'd[A] listened close, when they w[D]hispered in my ear

Put no[D] stone at my head, no [G]flowers on my tomb

The [D]only thing I want, when they [G]lay me in the ground

When I [D]die [A]tear my stillhouse [D]down

CHORUS:

Oh [G]tear my stillhouse down, let it go to rust

Don't [D]leave no trace of the hiding place, where I made that evil stuff

For [G]all my time and money, no profit did I see

That [D]old copper kettle was the [A]death of [D]me

VERSE 2:

When I was a child, way back in the hills

I laughed at the men, who tended those stills

But that old mountain shine, it caught me somehow

When I die tear my stillhouse down

(CHORUS)

VERSE 3:

Oh tell all your children, that Hell ain't no dream

'Cause Satan he lives, in my whiskey machine

And in my time of dying, I know where I'm bound

So when I die tear my stillhouse down

The fairest[C] bloom the mountain knows

Is not an iris or a wild rose

But the little f[F]lower of which I'll t[C]ell

Known as the [G]brave acony [C]bell

VERSE 2:

Just a simple flower so small and plain

With a pearly hue and a little known name

But the yellow birds sing when they see it bloom

For they know that spring is coming soon

VERSE 3:

Well it makes its home mid the rocks and the rills

Where the snows lie deep on the windy hills

And it tells the world Why should I wait

This ice and snow is gonna melt away.

And so I'll sing that yellow bird's song

For the troubled times will soon be gone

[C]There's a hundred bluebirds, [F]up above the clouds

[G]Every one's another l[C]ullaby

CHORUS:

[G]But there's only one and [C]only

[G]Who could go and [F]leave me l[G]onely

VERSE 2:

There's a world of trouble, trying to take its turn

I can hear it shaking underground

And half a dozen lessons, I might never learn

Not until them troubles come around

(CHORUS)

VERSE 3:

There's a mile of blacktop, where the road begins

It takes a time or two to recognize

Growing at the roadside, scattered by the wind

Are everybody's unsaid sad goobyes

(CHORUS)

CODA:

You're the only one and only

Why'd you go and leave me lonely
