Strum
D-DU-UDU
 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
 2
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.
 3.
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!!!!!
