Appalachian Refugee

Dm                    G
Lay your head upon my knee
C                             Am
I'll drive a while so you can sleep
Dm                    G                 F
And get ready for the place we're going to
   Dm       F           C
So blue, so new, and so deep

Dm                              G
It's like you loved your father so
C                        Am
And you know it, that he knows
Dm                                 G
And it's been years since you have seen his eyes
   Dm       F           C
So blue, so new, and so deep

Dm                       G
Hear the voice of bygone West Virgina
C                             Am
Speaking through the fog that lies between the
Dm                     G
Oldest ridges that are Blue
Dm                     G
Oldest river they call New
Dm                        G
Can only reach a place so deep
F       G           C
Two Appalachian refugees

Dm                    G
Slowly lower the body down
C                         Am
Six feet neath the frozen ground
Dm                              G             F
Although its time has passed, it passses onto you
        Dm                F            C
Eyes so blue, old life as new, love so deep

Dm                       G
Hear the voice of bygone West Virgina
C                             Am
Speaking through the fog that lies between us
Dm                     G
Oldest ridges that are Blue
Dm                     G
Oldest river they call New
Dm                            G
Bring all my children home to me
F       G           C
