Medicine Springs -  Sturgill Simpson
Capo 1
[Verse 1]
EWell I wandered way back in the mountains
I was searching for fortune and AfameE  
EI found the spot where the Ablue waters Eflows
They call it the medicine sAprings
They Ecall it the B7medicine Esprings
[Verse 2]
EI dremaed I saw a fair lady
Yellow hair and big eyes of AblueE  
EShe told me one day she Aloved only Eme
EThat she would forever be Atrue
That Eshe would forB7ever be Etrue
[Verse 3]
EWell I wanted the best for my darlin'
But my pockets were empty and AbareE  
EI wanted the best for that Adarlin' of Emine
EI took what another man Ahad
I Etook what anoB7ther man Ehad
[Verse 4]
EAs I sit here alone in this jail house
EWith a letter I can't hardly AreaEd
EIt said that my darlin' has Aleft this ol' Eworld
EShe's a waitin' in heaven for Ame
EShe's a waitin' in B7heaven for Eme
[Verse 5]
ESome day I'll go back to the mountains
EWhere I'll spend the rest of my AdayEs
EAnd the water that runs frome the Aside of the Ehill
Will Ewater her Aflowery Egrave
Will Ewater her B7flowery Egrave
