Nightrider Album
Intro
A E A Bm x2 A (over lead)
Verse 1
A D A D
Franklin Limestone, always been my home
A D A
I was born in Nashville, the place I call my own
D C#m Bm
Where the mountains, and the rivers, and the valleys
E A D A
We were married, you and me
Chorus
D C#m Bm
We were both so happy just being together
E A D A
Like a possum in the wood
C#m Bm
So please forgive me if I forget to tell you
E A D A
What you mean to me
Verse 2
Hard cold winter took away my mother
Papa got the fever, Lord he said he couldn't leave her
You carried me through bad times, through the worst times
You were my driving wheel
Chorus
Break
Lead over verse chords
then repeat the last half of verse again (D C#m Bm E A progression)
Verse 3
Workin in a coal mine, slaving in the day time
Lookin to the Good Lord for any peace of mind
The feeling if you left me on that hillside
Would break this heart of mine
Chorus
Outro (over lead)
Repeat intro end on D
A F#m A Bm A E A
Then outro with mostly A chord alternating between D and E
This song is carried mostly by the lead part, but the basic chords
I've given will let you play and sing it just on your own. It would
help to play along with the song. Comments and corrections welcome!
Enjoy!
