CAPO I (all chords relative)

Note: the chord name “D7/9(1,2,3,(5),b7)” is too cumbersome for a tab, so I 
abbreviated it to “D7/9”…and essentially, it’s a C7 which, in this 
song, is slid up two frets following a C for a sweet slide sound…it’s fairly 
common in Americana/Folk music and sounds really, really cool.  


Intro: G     D  G   (2x)

Verse 1:
G                                 
Rain beatin’ down on a midnight moon
                           C  
Oh baby, I’ll be leavin’ soon
         G
Take me away
    G                           
The winds are howlin’ like an old freight train
                                 C
Oh babe these are the winds of change
         G
Take me away

Chorus:
                 C                          
‘Cause I’ve been sittin’ on the front porch
                      G
Watchin’ the world go ‘round
            C               Em                   
Through the eyes of a fool, head like a rock
   G                 D  D/C  D/B D/A          
My whole world tumbling down
G                                        
Rain beatin’ down on a midnight moon
                           C  (slide) D7/9
Oh baby, I’ll be leaving soon
         G                  
Take me away

Solo (play intro)

Verse 2:
Grass around your ankles in the field before the flood
You’re a rough-cut diamond in the Mississippi mud
Take me away
I’m a two-time loser with my guitar and my gun
You’re a mover and a shaker and a lover in the sun
Take me away

Chorus
