Red Buds

         G                     A
Well the, the wind blows hard upon 
whippoorwill hill
        C                     G
and the red buds sway in the breeze
           G                       
And if you listen real close you 
   A
can hear
                         C         
the desperate cry of a broken man 
           G
on his knees.

[Chorus]
        C                    G
And the rain beats hard on a poor 
man's head
        C                          
And the wind blows the nails out of
     G
 the tin roof of the shed
        A                  C      
And the water keeps on risin at 
            G
the old homestead

[Verse]
Continues after the ad
           G                       
Well if the corns knees high by the
 A
 fourth of July
           C                   G
and Mother Nature smiles on us all
              G
And there's a ring around the moon
               A
and that means rain is comin' soon
           C                       
and we'll have a good harvest this 
 G
fall.

[Chorus]
        C                    G
And the rain beats hard on a poor on
 man's head
        C                          
And the wind blows the nails out of
     G
 the tin roof of the shed
        A                 C       
And the moon keeps on shinin at 
           G
the old homestead

[Verse]
              G                    
Well the, the wind blows through 
  A
the wheat field at night
         C              G
and it plays a lonely tune
        G                          
And the bones clatter in the trees 
        A
waving in the summer breeze
                 C              
Well there ain't nothin like Lee 
             G
County in June

[Chorus]
        C                    G
And the rain beats hard on a poor 
man's head
        C                          
And the wind blows the nails out of
     G
 the tin roof of the shed
        A                  C      
And the river keeps on flowin at 
              G
the old homestead
