Green Mountains and Me - Slaid Cleaves/David Farnsworth intro: G5 - A5 - C5 - D5 (repeat) Verse 1 G5 A5 You're on the other side of the world tonight C5 D5 But under the same cold stars G5 A5 And tonight I'll dream you right back home C5 D5 To this little life of ours G5 A5 We'll walk hand in hand through fields of green C5 D5 Just like we did last year G5 A5 But it's so hard to wake up every day C5 D5 And watch as your dreams disappear Pre Chorus 1 C5 D5 It's quiet here, your little boy's asleep C5 D5 He looks more like you every day Chorus G5 E5 Won?t you come back, come back my darlin? G5 E5 Each night I pray on bended knee C5 D5 E5 Won't you come back to the Green Mountains and me C5 - D5 - G5 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 Won?t 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 Won?t you come back to the Green Mountains and me
