Face of Appalachia Songtext

von Julie Miller

Being born in blocks of buildings with a subway lullabye
B G#m A E B
When I dreamed of Appalachia it was dreams that had to die
G#m B G#m B
Coal trains wailing banjos frailing sounds escaping the night
A E B
Oh the face of Appalachia
A E B
Was there in that cold gray apartment light
E B
In that cold gray apartment light
B
Oh I would fashion
G#m A E B
I'd imagine somewhere steep with waterfall
B G#m
Wild birds sing to a five string
A E B
Bouncing music off the mountains walls
G#m B
Coal trains wailing banjos Frailing
G#m B
Sounds escaping thru the door
A E B A E B
Oh the face of Appalachia she was changing that's for sure
A E B
She was changing that's for sure

SOLO

B G#m
Grandpa made me quite a promise
A E B
For the day I came of age
B G#m
He said he'd walk through Appalachia
A E B
Northern Georgia up to Maine
G#m B
Dreadful sorry my beloved
G#m B
Such a promise he could not keep
A E B
All my dreams of Appalachia
A E B
Were just an old man's memory
A E B
Were just an old man's memory
