Selection chords: Katie Paterson

Intro: C

Chorus:
 G
 Sixteen carriages drivinʼ away
                    G
 while i watch them ride with my fears away
       C
 to the summer sunset on a holy night
                C
 on a long back road all the tears i fight

           G
 Sixteen carriages drivinʼ away
                    G
 while i watch them ride with my fears away
       C
 to the summer sunset on a holy night
                C
 on a long back road all the tears i fight

   G
At fifteen, the innocence was gone astray
      G
had to leave my home at an early age
     C
i saw mama prayinʼ, i saw daddy grind
      C
all my tender problems, had to leave behind

          G
Itʼs been umpteen summers, and iʼm not in my bed
on the back of the bus and a bunk with the band
G
goinʼ so hard, gotta choose myself
underpaid and overwhelmed
C
i might cook, clean, but still wonʼt fold
still workinʼ on my life, you know
C
only God knows only God knows
only God knows

Chorus:
           G
 Sixteen carriages drivinʼ away
                    G
 while i watch them ride with my fears away
       C
 to the summer sunset on a holy night
                C
 on a long back road all the tears i fight

           G
 Sixteen carriages drivinʼ away
                    G
 while i watch them ride with my fears away
       C
 to the summer sunset on a holy night
                C
 on a long back road all the tears i fight

C

G
Sixteen dollars workinʼ all day
                  G
ainʼt got time to waste i got art to make
     C
i got love to create on this holy night
     C
they wonʼt dim my light
all these years i fight

          G
Itʼs been thirty-eight summers
and iʼm not in my bed
on the back of the bus and a bunk with the band
G
goinʼ so hard, now i miss my kids
overworked and overwhelmed
C
i might cook, clean, but still wonʼt fold
still workinʼ on my life, you know
C
only God knows only God knows
only God knows

Chorus:
           G

 while i watch them ride with my fears away
       C
 to the summer sunset on a holy night
                C
 on a long back road  all the tears i fight

           G
 Sixteen carriages drivinʼ away
                    G
 while i watch them ride with my fears away
       C
 to the summer sunset on a holy night
                C
 on a long back road all the tears i fight

At fifteen the innocence was gone astray
      G
had to take care of home at an early age
     C
i saw mama cryinʼ, i saw daddy lyinʼ
       C
had to sacrifice and leave my fears behind

    Am                   G
The legacy if itʼs the last thing i do
         F
youʼll remember me
cause we got somethinʼ to prove
        F            Em
in your memory on a highway to truth
G
still see your faces when you close your eyes

Chorus:
 G
 Sixteen carriages drivinʼ away
