"Gold Heart Locket"
Usually with a banjo, but when he plays it live, there's often a full band accompaniment. Beautiful song.
D, A, Em, G, D  
DAll night long I've been riding riding
I should Ahave been there by nowEm  
But these old county roads
Got a lot of deep holes
And the rain Gkeeps pouring downD  
The bDridge is washed out and the rising rising
WAaters of the river rush byEm  
And I'm up to my fenders in mud
And to my witness above
I'm really stuDck this time
I've got a gold Gheart locket on a silver chain
Clinched tight iDn my fist in the pouring rain
And the only Emroad back home again Is all but washed away
GI'm going to cross that river tonight
No matteDr what it takes 
Although I might die tryingA  
My trF#mue love will remainEm  
In a golGd heart locket on a silver chainD  A  Em  G  D  
Open it up and she's lovely lovely
Eyes of hazel green
But I close it up fast 
Because the rain gets past
And lays a tear down on her cheek
I promised her once that I would never ever
Break her heart again
So lord take me there in a silent prayer
And her locket in my hand
The lEmast thing I remember 
I was feDaring for my life
She was calEmling out my name 
From over on Gthe other side
I Greached out to hold her
But the break was just too strongD  
Now the silAence just gets colder
As the rivGer rages on
DAll night long I've been riding riding
I should Ahave been there by nowEm  
But these old county roads
Got a lot of deep holes
And the rain Gkeeps pouring downD  
The bDridge is washed out and the rising rising
WAaters of the river rush byEm  
And I'm up to my fenders in mud
And to my witness above
I'm really stuDck this time
I've got a gold Gheart locket on a silver chain
Clinched tight iDn my fist in the pouring rain
And the only Emroad back home again Is all but washed away
GI'm going to cross that river tonight
No matteDr what it takes 
Although I might die tryingA  
My trF#mue love will remainEm  
In a golGd heart locket on a silver chainD  A  Em  G  D

D A Em G D

, , , ,

All night long I've been riding riding

A Em

I should have been there by now

But these old county roads

Got a lot of deep holes

G D

And the rain keeps pouring down

The bridge is washed out and the rising rising

A Em

Waters of the river rush by

And I'm up to my fenders in mud

And to my witness above

I'm really stuck this time

I've got a gold heart locket on a silver chain

Clinched tight in my fist in the pouring rain

And the only road back home again Is all but washed away

I'm going to cross that river tonight

No matter what it takes

Although I might die trying

F#m Em

My true love will remain

G D A Em G D

In a gold heart locket on a silver chain

Open it up and she's lovely lovely

Eyes of hazel green

But I close it up fast

Because the rain gets past

And lays a tear down on her cheek

I promised her once that I would never ever

Break her heart again

So lord take me there in a silent prayer

And her locket in my hand

The last thing I remember

I was fearing for my life

She was calling out my name

From over on the other side

I reached out to hold her

But the break was just too strong

Now the silence just gets colder

As the river rages on

All night long I've been riding riding

A Em

I should have been there by now

But these old county roads

Got a lot of deep holes

G D

And the rain keeps pouring down

The bridge is washed out and the rising rising

A Em

Waters of the river rush by

And I'm up to my fenders in mud

And to my witness above

I'm really stuck this time

I've got a gold heart locket on a silver chain

Clinched tight in my fist in the pouring rain

And the only road back home again Is all but washed away

I'm going to cross that river tonight

No matter what it takes

Although I might die trying

F#m Em

My true love will remain
