Yankee Lady

I lived with the decent folks
       D               A
In the hills of old Vermont
Where what you do all day
  E
Depends on what you want
      A
And I took up with a woman there
       D             A
Though I was still a kid
And I smile like the sun
                    E              A   A Asus4
To think of all the loving that we did
    A
She rose each morning and went to work
        D                A
And she kept me with her pay
I was making sweet love all night
    E
And playing guitar all day
          A
And I got apple cider and homemade bread
   D              A
to make a man say grace
And clean linens on my bed
      E              A   A Asus4
And a warm feet fire place
D               A
 Yankee lady so good to me
E                   A
 Yankee lady just a memory
D               A
 Yankee lady so good to me
         E           A           A Asus4
Your memory, that's enough for me
A
An autumn walk on a country road
       D               A
With a million flaming trees
I was feeling uneasy
                E
Cause there was winter in the breeze
               A
And she said, "Oh Jesse, look over there,
    D                   A
the birds are southward bound
A
Oh Jesse, I'm so afraid
   E                        A    Asus4 A  A7
to lose the love that we've found
D               A
 Yankee lady so good to me
E                   A
 Yankee lady just a memory
D               A
 Yankee lady so good to me
         E           A           A Asus4
Your memory, that's enough for me
A E A
A
I don't know what called to me
      D           A
But I know had to go
I left Vermont town
       E
With a lift to Mexico
A
 And now when I see myself
     D              A
As a stranger by my birth
Yankee lady's memory
  E              A    A7
Reminds me of my worth
D               A
 Yankee lady so good to me
E                   A
 Yankee lady just a memory
D               A
 Yankee lady so good to me
         E           A           A Asus4
Your memory, that's enough for me
