A D A E F#m
A
There is a tree, flowers in spring.
F#m A
White cherry buds, twenty-two rings.
F#m A
I helped her grow, but have never seen
E F#m
Carolina winter or Aberdeen.
A
From the Missisippi floodgates my body churned.
F#m A
Up the river delta my mother yearned
F#m A
to taste the sweetness of her pain
E F#m
fallin' down in Carolina rain.
D A
And if I stay I'll stay today.
F#m A
My body has followed in her wake.
D A
If I'm to go, I'll go away
E F#m
to Aberdeen and there I'll wait.
E F#m
A
She stayed by the sea hardened town.
F#m A
Smell of fish watered down,
F#m A
Taste of liquor on her mouth,
E F#m
and her heart it wandered down to the south.
D A
And if I stay I'll stay today.
F#m A
My body has followed in her wake.
D A
If I'm to go, I'll go away
E F#m
to Aberdeen and there I'll wait.
A F#m A F#m A E F#m
A
Her body is now hard from the years.
F#m A
She's still as strong, still as fierce.
F#m A
I've taken all she had to give
E F#m
and given back the will to live.
D A
And if I stay I'll stay today.
F#m A
My body has followed in her wake.
D A
If I'm to go, I'll go away
E F#m
to Aberdeen and there I'll wait.
E F#m
To Aberdeen and there I'll wait
E F#m
To Aberdeen and there I'll wait
E F#m
