Hickory
Slaid Cleaves
G
(início)
G C G I was born in the shadow of a Tennessee mountain D In a slower and gentler time C G In a cabin my grandfather built with his hands G D G Out of hickory walnut and pine G C G We hunted those hills, my father and I D So far from the bustle of town C G But I'd soon see a whole way of life start to fade G D As the mines all began to shut down G C G Heard saws on the mountain, saw the trucks rumble by D Filing past like a funeral line C G Those big iron trailers were piled up high G D G With Hickory, Walnut and Pine
Chorus
C G Call it progress or a shame, well you can't stop a train D As it's barrelin' on down the line C G They'll cut down the trees and name your new streets G D G Hickory, Walnut and Pine
Verse
G C G Now the mountain top's flattened, the hickory's gone D And the streams run black as a curse C G My father's been out in the barn more and more G D Since the mining went bad and then worse G C G Well I heard his old saw, I heard his old plane D I heard his cough worsen with time C G Now I stand where he lays in a box that he made G D G Out of hickory, walnut and pine G C G My children have left, for the big city jobs D I'll remain, my fate to unwind C G And I'll dream of the days when the wind called my name G D G Through hickory, walnut and pine
Chorus
C G Call it progress or a shame, well you can't stop a train D And you can't stop the marching of time C G They'll cut down the trees and name your new streets G D G Hickory, Walnut and Pine
