Long Bed From Kenya

    C                  G          
 See the Redtail on her perch upon
        Am                    F
 the fencepost,
C                                G
    Highway 40 roll on by.
C                  G         
    If I could reach across the 
              Am                   
distance for a moment,
 F

C                      G         
    I'd steal the sadness from 
                C
her eyes.
    C               G      
2.     It's February and the 
              Am                   
weather's clear for driving,
     F

C                                 
    how I've missed your 
                 G
Tennessee.
C                        G       
    The morning sun just stole 
                  Am               
the shadows from the mountains,
           F

C                 G              
    and the years away from me.
         C


Chorus
G                                 
    Yes I've changed and I knew 
         F                      C
that I was able,
G                      E         
    but you still look the same 
              Am
to me.
F                   G            
    And your eyes are just as 
            C                    Am
blue across the table,
C              G                 
    as the sky in Tennessee.

   C                G             
 This old farm is ne'er so big as 
        Am              F
I remember,
C                                 
    now the fields are burned and 
                    G
brown.
C                      G    
    The Pigeon River's running 
                  Am               
deeper than December,
     F

C                     G          
    where the Winter snows lay 
              C
down.
                     C           
How you love your house       and 
            - G              Am    
this long bed sent from Kenya,
                        F

                  C                
    and the telling of the story of
 the woman you met there.
             G

                   C               
    She's a darkhaired beauty    - 
          - G                 Am   
  my hair's only growing thinner,
                F

C                   G            
    and my threads a little bare.
      C




G                                 
    Yes I've changed and I knew 
         F                      C
that I was able,
G                      E         
    but you still look the same 
              Am
to me.
F                   G            
    And your eyes are just as 
            C                    Am
blue across the table,
C              G                 
    as the sky in Tennessee.

   C           G                  
In the silence hear the years, we 
      Am                   F
dare not speak of,
C                                 
    let this arrow pass on 
        G
through.
C                    G           
    And I'll be gone before my 
            Am                    F
heart has met resistance,
C                 G              
    like you hoped that I would 
            C
do.

    C                 G          
See the Redtail turn her wing 
Am          F
toward the mountain,
C                              
    God there's sunlight in your 
                    G
smile.
C                  G         
    If I could reach across the 
        Am            F
distance for a moment,
C                        G       
    I'd steal her memory from 
                  C
your eyes.

G                         F      
    Yes I've changed and I knew 
              C
that I was able,
G                      E         
    but you still look the same 
              Am
to me.
F                   G            
    And your eyes are just as 
            C                    Am
blue across the table,
C.                  G            
Than the sky in Tennessee (bis)
       C
