[Verse 1]
DrGeam dream deep in rolling mCountains
Little horse, a Emporch swing
MamCa down the strGeam
[Verse 2]
DrGip that honey on the caCmera
Lay out on an old Emquilt
PretCty like a quGeen
[Bridge]
OEmh I know a baCby should be born in blGood
OEmutside in the puCmpkins and the rooGts
EmOh I know we aiCn't been off the land that Glong
But you can't Emstep into those pChotos in your Groom
And you can't Emsleep under no ApCpalachian moGon
[Verse 3]
CrGy cry, sigh for Cold Virginia
Sing out all the Emwork songs
GathCered up in schGools
[Verse 4]
DGon't try, lover there's no Canswer
Unless in the maEmnsion
CWe were raised as foGols
[Bridge]
EmI don't know the panic of the Cflood plain heGre
EmDeep inside my corCduroy jeGans
EmWould that we could pCut back on our rGeal boots now
[Outro]
But you caEmn't fill anyone's Cbottle on the loGop
And you caEmn't sleep under no ACppalachian mGoon
No you canEm't fill anyoneâs botCtle on the lGoop
And you caEmn't sleep under no AppaClachian moGon

[Verse 1]

G C

Dream dream deep in rolling mountains

Little horse, a porch swing

C G

Mama down the stream

[Verse 2]

G C

Drip that honey on the camera

Lay out on an old quilt

C G

Pretty like a queen

[Bridge]

Em C G

Oh I know a baby should be born in blood

Em C G

Outside in the pumpkins and the roots

Em C G

Oh I know we ain't been off the land that long

Em C G

But you can't step into those photos in your room

Em C G

And you can't sleep under no Appalachian moon

[Verse 3]

G C

Cry cry, sigh for old Virginia

Sing out all the work songs

C G

Gathered up in schools

[Verse 4]

G C

Don't try, lover there's no answer

Unless in the mansion

C G

We were raised as fools

[Bridge]

Em C G

I don't know the panic of the flood plain here

Em C G

Deep inside my corduroy jeans

Em C G

Would that we could put back on our real boots now

[Outro]

Em C G

But you can't fill anyone's bottle on the loop

Em C G

And you can't sleep under no Appalachian moon

Em C G

No you can't fill anyoneâs bottle on the loop

Em C G

And you can't sleep under no Appalachian moon
