Beautiful Chords

It aint like no ones done this before
But how can you tire of beautiful chords

In the fifties
In Tenessee
Where my love
was born
Two young men upped and
crossed the yard
both cold cos it was rainin hard.

One of them turned said
my oh my
Wonder where they are now
And as rain poured out
From the sky
Oh well it was just the start

It ain’t like no ones done this before
But how can you tire of beautiful chords.

God bless the singer that
Writes his own
guided home
by the tide
God bless the listener
That shuns whats old
Its the soil from which we all have grown

Oh the music
All those songs
a million melodies
All are in me
Where ’er I go
Such joy is rarely ever known

It aint like no ones done this before
But how can you tire of beautiful chords

Really enjoy the blend of instruments in this very pretty song. Starts very much like Neil Young.

Shit, oh shit, shit! This just is not fair. So real. So right on, so I wish I wrote this, so I could sing it, cause I want to say it just like this.
