Green Mountains and Me - Slaid Cleaves/David Farnsworth
intro: G-Am-C-D (repeat)
Verse 1
[G]You're on the other side of the world tonight[Am]
[C]But under the same cold stars[D]
[G]And tonight I'll dream you right back home[Am]
[C]To this little life of ours[D]
[G]We'll walk hand in hand through fields of green[Am]
[C]Just like we did last year[D]
[G]But it's so hard to wake up every day[Am]
[C]And watch as your dreams disappear[D]
Pre Chorus 1
[C]It's quiet here, your little bo[D]y's asleep
[C]He looks more like you every day[D]

Chorus
[G]Wont you come back, come back my darlin[Em]
[G]Each night I pray on bended knee[Em]
[C]Won't you come back to the Green Mountains an[D]d me[Em]
[C-D-G]
Follow same pattern for the rest of song
Verse 2
I see a car winding up the driveway
Up to your parents' place
The old man looks up from his raking
As the color drains from your mama's face
Cryin' softly by the window now
While your daddy shakes the soldiers hands
Their taillights disappear into the woods below
He's frozen in the doorway where he stands
Pre-Chorus 2
In the twilight, in the silent snow
I hear you singing in my ear
Chorus
Won't you come back, come back my darlin
Each night I pray on a bended knee
Wont you come back to the Green Mountains and me
Verse 3
The seasons come and the seasons go
We live from day to day
And I lose a little bit of myself
With each tear I wipe away
Pre-Chorus 3
People on the street used to stop and chat
Now they look down and walk on by
Chorus
Won't you come back, come back my darlin
Each night I pray on a bended knee
Wont you come back to the Green Mountains and me
