Leaving Eden Carolina Chocolate Drops
[C]Hush now, don't you [F]wake up
We'll be [C]leaving at [F]first light
Mama's [Dm]buying you a [C]mockingbird
To [Am]lull you thr[F]ough the night
We'll [C]cross the Dan by [F]morning
Here's a [C]blanket for you to [F]share
They're [Dm]building down in [C]Georgia
Daddy [Am]hears he'll fi[F]nd work there
[--------------BEGIN CHORUS---------------]
And the [Am]mockingbird can't [F]sing
Like the [E]crying of a [Am]dove
And [C]I can't tell my [F]daughters
All the [E]things that I'[Am]m scared of
But [C]I am not a[F]fraid of that bright [E7]glory up a[Am]bove
[Dm]Dying's just a[C]nother way to [Am]leave the [F]ones you love[Fm]
[--------------END CHORUS---------------]
No [C]work for the [F]working man
Just [C]one more empty [F]mill
[Dm]Hard times in [C]Rockingham
[Am]Hard times ha[F]rder still
The [C]crows are in the [F]kitchen
The [C]wolves at the d[F]oor
Our [Dm]fathers' land of [C]Eden is [Am]parad[F]ise no more
(CHORUS)
(INSTURMENTAL)
My [C]sister stayed in [F]Eden
Her [C]husband's got som[F]e land
An [Dm]agent for the [C]county thinks that [Am]they might make a [F]stand
A [C]hard life of [F]working
With [C]nothing much to [F]show
A [Dm]long life of [C]leaving with [Am]nowher[F]e to go
(CHORUS)
