Topic: Pawnee Creek
I re -wrote the song ( which was inspired by Russell and his band's instrumental version)
I couldn't find the original thread - easier to to it this way.
I tried to make it a bit mysterious.
Hope it works for you.
Pawnee Creek by Jim Kenyon
Verse 1
.
[Em]up in the Northland near Pawnee creek
met me a woman made my knees grow weak
I fell so hard I nearly lost my mind
[B7]made me feel so good, then she[Am] left me be[Em]hind
Verse 2
.
[Em]we shared a cabin down by Pawnee creek
I fell in love for about a week
she was a hard luck woman with killer eyes
[B7]her bed was warm, but her [Am]heart was all [Em] lies
.
Chorus
[Am]oh Pawnee Creek, Pawnee Creek
[Em]Yeah Pawnee Creek, Pawnee creek
[Am]where the water flows and the eagles fly
[B7]mysterious shadows ‘neath a [Am]pale moon [Em]sky
[Am]oh Pawnee Creek,such a pretty name
[Em]Pawnee creek, never leave you the same
[Am] sure ain’t no place for the mild or meek
[B7]ain't nothing but heartaches from [Am]Pawnee [Em]Creek
.
Verse 3
.
[Em]Up in the tall pines near Pawnee creek
I still hear her voice, though she doesn’t speak
Oh, We loved, we loved,and we loved some more
[B7]but then that witchy woman snuck [Am] out the [Em]door
Verse 4
.
[Em]Well it's a lonely road that leads from Pawnee Creek
whispering pines mask a mournful shriek
there's echoes of sadness as the night bird's cries
[B7]last time she ever looked in [Am] to my [Em] eyes
.
Chorus
[Am]oh Pawnee Creek, Pawnee Creek
[Em]Yeah Pawnee Creek, Pawnee creek
[Am]where the water flows and the eagles fly
[B7]mysterious shadows ‘neath a [Am]pale moon [Em]sky
[Am]oh Pawnee Creek,such a pretty name
[Em]Pawnee creek, never leave you the same
[Am] sure ain’t no place for the mild or meek
[B7]ain't nothing butheartaches from [Am]Pawnee [Em]Creek
[B7]oh how I miss that woman from [Am]Pawnee [Em]Creek
[B7]oh how I miss that woman
[B7]oh how I miss that woman
[B7]oh how I miss that woman ..........
from [Am]Pawnee [Em]Creek
end with a picking of each string in Em and then an easy or soft EM strum
