The Narrows

The Narrows
Let Dme Gtell Dyou,
About the place where I used to Alive
A Dplot of timber Gground, sky so Dblue
With a creek out back and Awildlife, Dtoo
I had a spot on the creek GI called the DNarrows
You could step across the rocks and rushing Awater
Build Da small fire, watch Gthe hawks and Dsparrows
And at sun-down AI would loosen the Dhalter
I would mostly Gwatch and Ddream
Write a song or a poem or Atwo
Peaceful Dfeelings to Gme it would Dseem
And walk back to the Acabin in the evening Ddew
The next day, I would Ggo to the narrows Dagain,
Always see things that I had missed Abefore
Hear Dnatures voices, and Gtrees creakin in the Dwind
Back to the Acabin to rest, close the heavy Ddoor
Those were the times GI took for Dgranted
Not aware of how fortunate that I Awas
Now Dthe old cabin Groof is so Dslanted
Watched over by Atwo lovely mourning Ddoves
                          G              Dindeed
The Narrows, oh how I miss you......... ....fade.

The Narrows

D G D

Let me tell you,

About the place where I used to live

D G D

A plot of timber ground, sky so blue

A D

With a creek out back and wildlife, too

G D

I had a spot on the creek I called the Narrows

You could step across the rocks and rushing water

D G D

Build a small fire, watch the hawks and sparrows

A D

And at sun-down I would loosen the halter

G D

I would mostly watch and dream

Write a song or a poem or two

D G D

Peaceful feelings to me it would seem

A D

And walk back to the cabin in the evening dew

G D

The next day, I would go to the narrows again,

Always see things that I had missed before

D G D

Hear natures voices, and trees creakin in the wind

A D

Back to the cabin to rest, close the heavy door

G D

Those were the times I took for granted

Not aware of how fortunate that I was

D G D

Now the old cabin roof is so slanted

A D

Watched over by two lovely mourning doves

G D

indeed

The Narrows, oh how I miss you......... ....fade.
