                                 Unwed Fathers
                                 by John Prine

          G (320003@1)                C (x32010@1)       G (320003@1)     C (x32010@1)         In an Appalachian, Greyhound station
                         G (320003@1)      D (xx0232@1)         G (320003@1)         She sits there waiting, in a family way
                            C (x32010@1)        G (320003@1)       C (x32010@1)         'Goodbye brother, Tell Mom I love her'
                        G (320003@1)     D (xx0232@1)            G (320003@1)         'Tell all the others, I'll write someday'

          Chorus:
          G (320003@1)             C (x32010@1)                G (320003@1)         From an teenage lover, to an unwed mother
                                          D (xx0232@1)         kept undercovers, like some bad dream
                      G (320003@1)      C (x32010@1)           G (320003@1)      C (x32010@1)         While unwed fathers, they can't be bothered
                        G (320003@1)    D (xx0232@1)                G (320003@1)         They run like water, through a mountain stream

          G (320003@1)                      C (x32010@1)           G (320003@1)        C (x32010@1)         In a cold and grey town, a nurse say's 'Lay down'
                         G (320003@1)          D (xx0232@1)           G (320003@1)         'This ain't no playground, and this ain't home'
                             C (x32010@1)        G (320003@1)     C (x32010@1)         Someones children, out having children
                          G (320003@1)        D (xx0232@1)   G (320003@1)         in a grey stone building, all al-one
          (Chorus)

          G (320003@1)                    C (x32010@1)             G (320003@1)       C (x32010@1)         Some where else bound, Smokey Mountain Greyhound
                       G (320003@1)        D (xx0232@1)          G (320003@1)         She bows her head down, humming lullabys
                             C (x32010@1)               G (320003@1)   C (x32010@1)         'Your daddy never, meant to hurt you ever'
                         G (320003@1)        D (xx0232@1)               G (320003@1)         'he just don't live here, but you've got his eyes'
          (Chorus)
