Delta Dreamland

G (X8)

[Verse 1]
G                                 
Two young lovers on a Blytheville 
          G
back road
G                                 
Laying on the levee makin' love 
             G
all night long
C                                 
Wishing on a star in a southern 
  C
sky
G                                 
Dreaming out loud about the rest 
             G
of their lives


[Chorus]
          F             C         
They were lost, lost in love in a 
      G         G
Delta dreamland
               F             C    
Yes, they were lost, lost in love 
           G         G
in a Delta dreamland


[Verse 2]
G                                 
She worked all day at the old 
          G
shirt factory
G                                 
Thinking 'bout the boy that made 
         G
her happy
C                                 
Across the street at the hardware 
      C
store
       G
He was busy reliving the night 
before

[Chorus]
               F             C    
When they were lost, lost in love 
           G         G
in a Delta dreamland
               F             C    
Yes, they were lost, lost in love

[Bridge]
C
She was seventeen and he was twenty
          G                      
When they left their home for the 
               G
land of plenty
C                                 
Times were tough but they made it 
       C
through
     D                             
They lived to see their dreams come
            C

[Verse 3]
G                                 
The years rolled by like river 
  G
water
G                              
They said goodbye to three grown 
           G
daughters
C                       C
Together all alone again
G
Just like they started way back when


[Chorus]
          F             C         
They were lost, lost in love in a
