Carolina Chocolate Drops – Leaving Eden chords

C                   FHush now, don't you wake up
         C          FWe'll be leaving at first light
       Dm           CMama's buying you a mockingbird
   Am          FTo lull you through the night

      C                FWe'll cross the Dan by morning
         C                  FHere's a blanket for you to share
        Dm               CThey're building down in Georgia
      Am            FDaddy hears he'll find work there


[--------------BEGIN CHORUS---------------]
        Am                FAnd the mockingbird can't sing
         E           AmLike the crying of a dove
    C               FAnd I can't tell my daughters
        E             AmAll the things that I'm scared of
    C         F                    E7        AmBut I am not afraid of that bright glory up above
Dm            C             Am        F            FmDying's just another way to leave the ones you love
[--------------END CHORUS---------------]


   C            FNo work for the working man
     C              FJust one more empty mill
Dm            CHard times in Rockingham
Am           FHard times harder still

    C                FThe crows are in the kitchen
    C              FThe wolves at the door
    Dm               C       Am   FOur fathers' land of Eden is paradise no more

[CHORUS]
[INSTURMENTAL]

   C                FMy sister stayed in Eden
    C                FHer husband's got some land
   Dm            C                  Am                FAn agent for the county thinks that they might make a stand
  C            FA hard life of working
     C               FWith nothing much to show
  Dm           C            Am    FA long life of leaving with nowhere to go
