Farewell Appalachia

        Cm          Ab
From the cape to the hook
       Dm        Eb         Cm
With a carpet of leaves underfoot
           Cm             Ab
Through the lakes and the pines
      Dm           Eb       Cm
With my nose and my ears and eyes

[Chorus 1]
Cm                        
And with the warm sun on my 
  Ab
shoulders
Fm           Cm            Ab
And with the river rushing down
Cm          Bb           Fm  Ab 
I'm walking on a path to higher 
 Cm
ground
Fm          Ab                
Out of the trees and through the 
    Cm
clouds

[Verse 2]
          Cm          Ab
Down the fence in the dusk
              Dm         Eb       
Through the scree at the foot of 
    Cm
the bluff
        Cm            Ab
And i drank from the brook
       Fm           Eb         G
And i slept in the lee of the wood

[Chorus 2]
Cm                            Ab
And in the house where i last held 
you
Fm          Cm              Ab
Our bed was cast adrift all night
Cm           Bb           Fm  Ab
And you were taking me to higher 
  Cm
ground
Gm                        Fm
Out of my skin above the clouds

[Bridge]
Ab Eb Ab Cm Ab Fm Cm G

[Chorus 3]
Cm                     Ab
And in the canvas of a clear night
Fm        Cm                 Ab
A billion pins of flickering light
Cm               Bb          Cm  
And i dreamed of rising up beside
  Gm
 you
Ab         Gm           Fm
Among the galaxies and stars
Ab           Gm           Fm  Ab
And you were taking me to higher 
  Cm
ground
Dm         Gm             Cm
Out of my skin above the clouds
