Gsus2 My Gmmother came to Hazard
When I was just seven
Even then the folks in town
Said with Fprejudiced eyes
That Cboy's not right
GmThree years ago when
I came in on Mary
First time that someone
Looked beyond
The Frumors and the lies
Saw the Cman inside

We Ebused to walk
Down by the Bbriver
She Ebloved to watch
The sun go down Gm
F We Ebused to walk
Along the Bbriver Gm
And Fdream our way Eb
Out of this toGmwn F

What I felt for Mary

The night she went

Knocking next morning
Here was I surrounded by
A thousand Ffingers suddenly
Pointed Cright at me
