Selection chords: Sofia Davis

F#                  B         F#       B
In an Appalachian, Greyhound station
               F#        C#           F#
She sits there waiting, in a family way
                  B          F#         B
ʼGoodbye brother, Tell Mom I love herʼ
              F#       C#              F#
ʼTell all the others, Iʼll write somedayʼ

Chorus:
F#               B                  F#
From an teenage lover, to an unwed mother
                                C#
kept undercovers, like some bad dream
            F#        B             F#        B
While unwed fathers, they canʼt be bothered
              F#      C#                  F#
They run like water, through a mountain stream

F#                        B             F#          B
In a cold and grey town, a nurse sayʼs ʼLay downʼ
               F#            C#             F#
ʼThis ainʼt no playground, and this ainʼt homeʼ
                   B          F#       B
Someones children, out having children
                F#          C#     F#
in a grey stone building, all al-one

Chorus.

F#                      B               F#         B
Some where else bound, Smokey Mountain Greyhound
             F#          C#            F#
She bows her head down, humming lullabys
                   B                 F#     B
ʼYour daddy never, meant to hurt you everʼ
               F#          C#                 F#
ʼhe just donʼt live here, but youʼve got his eyesʼ

Chorus.
