You start on an Am for two beats then move the finger that's on the second fret of the D
string up to the second fret of the A string for two beats (Amadd9). Then A regular C
for two beats, then pull off on the D string for two beats (Csus2).  I also like to pull 
off on the B string in the middle of playing the Fs in the verses.

Am    Am9   C           C9 F
I grew up in a town with one red light
Am       Am9    C       C9      F
How that train would rattle me in the middle of the night
    Am      Am9 C    C9   F
But I slept like a baby in that bed
F                  G                     Am  Am9  C  C9  F
Cause mama kept me warm and she kept me fed

July 3rd was a dreaded friend of mine
     Am      Am9     C      C9      F
We'd all go down to the family plot in the Louisiana pines
Am      Am9  C     C9    F
Staring at that little baby's grave
F             G                Am  Am9  C  C9  F
Stella was as young as she was brave

             F                C
And what I'd give to go there again
                G                    Am
Kiss my daddy's face, hold my mama's hand
             F                    C
Little did I know soon they would be
                   G                   Am  Am9  C  C9  F
Lying right beside her, gone away from me
               Am  Am9  C  C9  F
Gone away from me

     Am     Am9  C        C9     F
They always made us kneel by grandpa's grave
Am   Am9 C      C9  F
Mama was a-wailing asking God if he was saved
  Am    Am9   C      C9 F
I never liked to see my daddy cry
F                  G                 Am  Am9  C  C9  F
I guess I'll never know how grandpa died

And what I'd give to go there again
                G                    Am
Kiss my daddy's face, hold my mama's hand

Little did I know soon they would be
                   G                   Am  Am9  C  C9  F
Lying right beside her, gone away from me
               Am  Am9  C  C9  F
Gone away from me

    Am     Am9 C     C9      F
You barely even see the tombstones now
    Am        Am9   C    C9     F
The trees are grown up everywhere and no one keeps the grounds
Am        Am9 C       C9     F
Strangers live inside my childhood home
F                         G              Am  Am9  C  C9  F
And I can't believe that daddy's really gone

             F                C
And what I'd give to go there again
                  G                     Am
Kiss his withered face, hold her gentle hand
                   F                  C
But there ain't no way that will ever be
                      G
They lie beneath that old tree,
                Am  Am9  C  C9  F
Gone away from me (Gone away from me)
                Am  Am9  C  C9  F
Gone away from me
                Am  Am9  C  C9  F
Gone away from me (Gone away from me)

Well I grew up in a town with one red light
