Album: Merrimack County.
Intro: D
D C6 D
Way up north by the ice bound ocean,
C D
I was born, I was born,
F6 D C6 D
Way up north in the Merrimack county,
C D C6 Em7 D
That's my home, that's my home.
D C6 D
When I was younger and in my schooling,
G D
I walked the mountains made of stone,
Dm7 D
The distance sang about tomorrow,
Cmaj7 D C6 Em7 D
And I did wish I was grown and gone,
D
And as I grew indeed I rambled,
C G D
Out along the open road,
D Am7 D
There I learned the rainbow circle,
C D C G D
It's truly said that's a sign of storm.
D
Now I'm old my dreams they wander,
C Bm G/A D
Far away, in yesterday,
D G D
I'm going home to the Merrimack county,
Cmaj7 D C6 D G D
And find the grass that hides my grave.
D
So let the birds fly down the valley,
C D
Let the storms roam on the sea,
Am7 D
I was born to the rainbow circle,
C D Am7 D
Stony mountain that's home to me.
