Yankee Lady

[A] [Asus4] 4x

I [A]lived with the decent folks
In the [D]hills of old Ver[A]mont

Where what you do all day
De[E]pends on what you want
And I [A]took up with a woman there
Though [D]I was still a [A]kid

And I smile like the sun
To think of all the [E]loving that we [A]did [A]   [Asus4]

She [A]rose each morning and went to work
And she [D]kept me with her [A]pay

I was making sweet love all night
And [E]playing guitar all day
And I got [A]apple cider and homemade bread
to [D]make a man say [A]grace

And clean linens on my bed
And a [E]warm feet fire [A]plac[A]e [Asus4]

[D]Yankee lady so [A]good to me
[E]Yankee lady just a [A]memory
[D]Yankee lady so [A]good to me
Your memo[E]ry, that s e[A]nough for me[A]  [Asus4]

[A]An autumn walk on a country road
With a [D]million flaming [A]trees

I was feeling uneasy
Cause there was [E]winter in the breeze
And she said, "[A]Oh Jesse, look over there,
the [D]birds are southward [A]bound
[A]Oh Jesse, I'm so afraid
to [E]lose the love that we've [A]found[Asus4]      [A]         [A7]

[D]Yankee lady so [A]good to me
[E]Yankee lady just a [A]memory
[D]Yankee lady so [A]good to me
Your memo[E]ry, that s e[A]nough for me[A]  [Asus4]

[A] [E] [A]

[A]I don't know what called to me
But I [D]know had to [A]go

I left Vermont town
With a [E]lift to Mexico
[A]And now when I see myself
As a [D]stranger by my [A]birth

Yankee lady's memory
Re[E]minds me of my [A]worth[A7]

[D]Yankee lady so [A]good to me
[E]Yankee lady just a [A]memory
