Unwed Fathers

          G                 
          In an Appalachian, 
 C         G       C
Greyhound station
                         G        
          She sits there waiting, 
D           G
in a family way
                            C      
          'Goodbye brother, Tell 
    G         C
Mom I love her'
                        G       D 
          'Tell all the others, 
             G
I'll write someday'

          Chorus:
          G               C       
          From an teenage lover, 
           G
to an unwed mother
          kept undercovers, like 
         D
some bad dream

                      G        C  
          While unwed fathers, 
           G        C
they can't be bothered
                        G     
          They run like water, 
 D                  G
through a mountain stream

          G                        
          In a cold and grey town, 
C             G          C
a nurse say's 'Lay down'
                         G         
          'This ain't no 
   D             G
playground, and this ain't home'
                             C  
          Someones children, out 
        G       C
having children
                          G        
          in a grey stone building,
  D     G
 all al-one
          (Chorus)

          G                     
          Some where else bound, 
 C               G         C
Smokey Mountain Greyhound
                       G          
          She bows her head down, 
D            G
humming lullabys
                             C     
          'Your daddy never, meant 
            G     C
to hurt you ever'
                         G         
          'he just don't live here,
 D                 G
 but you've got his eyes'
          (Chorus)
