Bein` born in-- blocks of--- buildings, -oe
with a sub~~~~~~ way lul-la-bye
When I dreamed of-- Ap-pal-a-chia
it was dreams~~~~~~~ That had to die
Coal trains wail~~~in` banjos frailing
Sounds es-cap~~~in` through the night
But the Face~~~~~~` of Ap - pa-la-chia
was there-- in that grey~~~~~ apartment life

D Bm7.
I would fashion I`d imagine
Some-where steeped~~~~~ in water-falls
Wild birds sing to a five string
Bouncin` mus~~~~~ic off mountain walls
Coal trains wail~~~~~in` banjos frailing
Sounds escape~~~~~~in` through the door
But the Face~~~~~~~~ Of Appalachia was there
she was chang~~~~~in` that`s for
sure~~~~~ she was chang~~~~in` that`s for sure.

Grand pa made me quite a promise
For the day~~~~~ I came of age
He said we`d walk through Appalachia
Northern Geor~~~~~~gia all through to Maine
Dreadfull sor~~~~ry my beloved
Such a prom~~~~~~ise couldn`t keep
All my dreams~~~~~ of Appalachia
Just an old~~~~~~ mans memories
Just an old~~~~~~ mans memories
An F. Kruger Tab,,,,, Enjoy!!!!!
