Look Away

[Verse]
    G                            
I'm goin' where the water rolls, 
Bm
Moses knows the way
      Em                    
To my tin roof shanty by the 
           D               C
railroad sign where the whistle 
blows for days
           G                       
Where the mountains bare the face, 
      Bm
of an injun brave
        Em                  D  
And the green fields fade such a 
    C
beautiful gray
     Am         Em      D
Look away, look away

[Verse]
         G                   
Hear the homeward call of the 
 Bm
mockingbird
        Em                      
Don't it sound just like a banjo 
  D               C
ringin' from a dime store curb
        G                         
See the sign on the cross, sayin' 
Bm
"Brother ain't you heard?"
     Em                    
That this is the land where 
      D            C
salvation ain't a dirty word

[Chorus]
C                         D
Cold buttermilk and honey mean more 
than a pocket full of money
G               F            Em
Oh Mama can you feel me draw near?
                C
Been lovin' you down through the 
years
            D
Even on the darkest days

     G          D
Look away, look away

[Verse]
    G                              
I'm goin' where the cotton grows in
 Bm
 rows of snowy bales
        Em                       
Where a man and a mule don't look 
        D               C
much different to the boss man's 
scale
          G                    
Where the long leaf pine hide a 
 Bm
secret place
     Em                            
That everybody knows what it looks 
      D          C
like but can't nobody see

[Chorus]
C                         D
Cold buttermilk and honey mean more 
than a pocket full of money
G               F            Em
Oh Mama can you feel me draw near?
                C
Keep lovin' you down through the 
years
            D
Even on the darkest days
        G            D
I look away, I look away

[Bridge]
        Em                         
To that circle 'round the sun still
                             A
 spinnin' and shine over the Lee 
Highway
       C            D            C
I look away, I look away, Dixieland

[Verse]
    G                            
I'm goin' where the water rolls, 
Bm
Moses knows the way
      Em                           
To my old homestead where the 
      D             C
lights are trimmed and burnin' 'til 
day
          G                        
Where the singin' river flows, and 
   Bm
it knows every name
     Em                         
Of a thousand years of footsteps 
  D           C
chasin' its wide domain

[Chorus]
C                         D
Cold buttermilk and honey mean more 
than a pocket full of money
G               F            Em
Oh Mama can you feel me draw near?
                C
Keep lovin' you down through the 
years
            D
Even on the darkest days
       G            D
I look away, look away
        Em                         
To that circle 'round the sun still
              A
 spinnin' and shine over the Lee 
Highway
          C            D
Oh I look away, I look away
