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