Appalachia

Appalachia

V1
G
When I was young
Life was much simpler
Em
I wasn’t aquatinted with the pain
C
I didn’t worry about tomorrow
D
I was a stranger to the rain
Now those years are rolling thunder
Many million miles away
Vanished somewhere in the ether
How I wish I could’ve made them stay

Chorus
C
Appalachia’s where I came from
Em
And where they’ll lay me in the ground
D
In the hills old Kentucky
G
Finally lay this body down
And in my mind I often wonder
Of the sounds that echo through my veins
High and lonesome mountain gospel
Angel band sing me away

Oh oh oh

V2
Those memories they haunt me
Like the ghost of Christmas past
Friends and family gathered round me
Memories much too sweet to last
We cannot see into tomorrow
Or peer back into our past
Only here for just a moment
Make best of what you have
