Sarah

B                   G#m    G#
Sarah moved down to Harlan county
E
Found no work and found no bounty
B
Took her share to feed her kin
    E
And kept em clear of medicine
     C#m
What rotten shape they keep us in

     B             G#m
When mama couldn't live alone
E                 C#m
Sarah brought her family home
B                B7
With Emma’s baby due in June
     E                   (Em)
Four generations, two bedrooms
    C#m
And not one goddamn thing to do

F#m C#m

[Chorus]
E          B             E       
Can't this world get its use outta 
  B
me
F#                         G#m
I'm just like a daisy underneath a 
canopy
C#m                         A
With sunlight always out of reach

[Instrumental]
B G#m Bm E B E B C#m A

B                        G#m
The years had slowed the foundry 
down
F#m (E)
So Sarah tended bar in town
       B
It was such a fight to pry the doors
        E
Gettin’ women workin’ on the floors
        C#m
No they don't make nothin’ anymore

[Chorus]
E          B             E       
Can't this world get its use outta 
  B
me
F#                         G#m
I'm just like a daisy underneath a 
canopy
C#m                         A
With sunlight always out of reach

[Bridge]
              D     A    F# F#m
There's not a dream left in my head
D                          G#m   E
Except to give more than I take
                           C#m  A
But these walls are painted lead
                       G#m  D#m E
And my spirit's shak(en/in)
G#m   D#m    E
oh oh shakin

G#m D#m B F#m G#m F# E

[Verse]
B
Mama passed in '93
E
Tommy got his GED
B             B7
Emma left and married young
  E
A man content to raise her son
    C#m
But Sarah had nowhere to run

        B               G#m
So with nothing left to make her 
stay
E
Sarah thought she’d move away
           B                       
But as she combed through locks of 
B7
greying hair
    E
The mirror seemed to catch her stare
           C#m               F#
No there's no sense going anywhere

[Chorus]
E          B             E       
Can't this world get its use outta 
  B
me
F#                         G#m
I'm just like a daisy underneath a 
canopy
C#m                         A E F#
With sunlight always out of reach

N.C
She wondered
E          B             E       
Can't this world get its use outta 
  B
me
F#                           G#m
I'm just a like baby left to swing 
under a tree
C#m                        F#
The sunlight never gets to me
