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