5   -5    -5    6  -5  4    5   4
The place where he was born and raised.


For six long years I've been in trouble.
No pleasures here on Earth I've found.
For in this world I'm bound to ramble.
I have no friends to helpme now.
He has no friends to help him now.

It's fare thee well my own true lover,
I never expect to see you again.
For I'm bound to ride that Northern Railroad.
Perhaps I'll die uopn this train.
Perhaps he'll die upon this train.

You can bury me in Sunny Valley.
For many years where I may lay.
Pray and may you learn to love another.
Where I am sleeping in my grave.
Where he is sleeping in his grave.

Maybe your friends think I'm just a stranger.
My face you never will see no home.
But there is one big promise that is given.
I'll meet you on God's Golden Shore.
He'll meet you on Go'd Golden shore.



I have just put the guitar chords on.  If you think the
G chord sounds funny with the harmonica notes, use a G7.

I'm just starting the harp this week,is this tab for a "G" harmonica?

It's for the C, but it will work out for G,
using the Key of G chords on the guitar, and
the same channels on the harp.
