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