The Lowlands
Nitty Gritty Dirt Band (2002)
Intro
| [Bm] | [Bm] | [Bm] | [Bm]
I'm | [Bm] headed for the | [G] lowlands
Would you | [G] please direct my | [D] way
The | [D] train is leaving | [A] shortly
There's no | [A] time for de- | [Bm] lay | [Bm]
She | [Bm] told me she'd be | [G] waiting
I'm | [G] not so sure she | [D] is
I | [D] heard that there's a- | [A] nother man
Who | claims that she is | [Bm] his | [Bm]
Chorus
The | [Bm] lowlands were my | [A] home...
when | [A] I was but a | [Bm] child | [Bm] |
| [Bm] They will be my | [A] deathbed |
| [A] when I've passed my | [Bm] time | [Bm]
I re- | [Bm] member one | [G] summer day...
The | [G] clouds began to | [D] build
We | [D] gathered the | [A] cattle
That had | [A] scattered cross the | [Bm] fields
Well it | [Bm] started to | [G] rain...
and con- | tinued several | [D] days
The | [D] river over- | [A] flowed
and the | crops all went to | [Bm] waste | [Bm]
Chorus
The | [Bm] lowlands were my | [A] home...
when | [A] I was but a | [Bm] child | [Bm] |
| [Bm] They will be my | [A] deathbed |
| [A] when I've passed my | [Bm] time | [Bm]
Instrumental
| [G] | [G] | [D] | [D] |
| [A] | [A] | [Bm] | [Bm] | [Bm]
| [G] | [G] | [D] | [D] |
| [A] | [A] | [Bm] | [Bm]
You | [Bm] know that I'm no | [G] failure
through my | [G] victories are | [D] few
I'm | [D] trying my | [A] best
but there's | [A] too much here to | [Bm] do | [Bm]
| [Bm] That girl I | [G] love once told me
I | [G] made her feel se- | [D] cure
It's | [D] hard to think I've | [A] been replaced.
| [A] Nothing does en- | [Bm] dure.
