Goin Back To Harlan Chords
Goin' Back To Harlan - Emmylou Harris
(capo 1)
(intro) Am C F G (x2)
(verse 1)
Am C
There were no cuckoos, no sycamores.
F G
We played about the forest floor
Dm C
underneath the silver maples,
G Am
the balsams and the sky.
(verse 2)
Am C
We popped the heads off dandelions,
F G
assuming roles from nursery rhymes.
Dm C
Rested on the riverbank,
G Am
and grew up by and by.
G Am Am
And grew up by and by

(bridge)
C
Frail my heart apart,
G
and play me a little Shady Grove.
C
Ring the bells of rhymney,
G
til they ring inside my head forever.
C G
Bounce the bow, rock the gallows
Am
for the hangman's reel.
G C G
And wake the devil from his dre-eeee-eam
(chorus)
C G
I'm goin back to Harlan, oh oh oh oh
C G
I'm goin back to Harlan, oh oh oh oh
Am Am
I'm going back to Harlan
(verse 3)
Am C
And if you were Willie Moore
F G
and I was Barbara Allen,
Dm C
or Fair Ellen all sad at the cabin door
G Am
a-weeping and a-pinin' for love.
G Am Am
A-weeping and a-pinin' for love.
