_ _ _ _ You [Gm] ought to go north, somebody told us, [Eb] cause the air is filled [Bb] with gold dust [F]
[Gm] and fortune
falls [Eb] like snowflakes in [Bb] your _ hands.
_ [F] Now [Gm] I don't recall who said it, [Eb] but we lived so long [Bb] on credit and [Eb] so we headed out [Bb] to [F] find a [Bb] promised land.
[Eb] _ [Bb] _ _ [F] Just [Gm] poor _ _ Appalachian farm folk [Eb] with nothing but _ [Bb] high hopes, [F]
[Gm] we hitched our [Eb] station wagon _ [Bb] to a star.
_ _ _ _ [F] But [Gm] our dreams all fell in on us, [Eb] cause there was _ [Bb] a promise and [Eb] it's a struggle _ [Bb] deep inside [F] of who [Bb] you are.
[Eb] _ [Bb] _ _ [F] Oh and [Gm] these northern nights [F] _ really, and [Eb] my southern heart's _ [Bb] bleeding deep, [F]
[Gm] I wonder how [Eb] the old folks are [Bb] back home.
_ [F] But I'll keep [Gm] leaning _ on sweet [F] Jesus, I [Eb] know he'll _ [Bb] lead _ _ [D]
[Eb] us, _ _ [Bb] Appalachian [F] memories keep [Bb] me strong.
[Eb] _ [Bb] You know [F] I've been [Gm] thinking a whole lot lately _ [F] about [Eb] what's been and what [Bb] awaits me.
[F] It [Gm] takes all I've got to [Eb] give what life [Bb] _ demands.
_ _ [F] You'd [Gm] go insane if you give in to it, [Eb] life's a meal and [Bb] I've been through it.
[Gm] I'm [Eb] just thankful [Bb] I'm [F] creative with [Bb] my _ [Eb] [Bb] hands.
_ [F] Oh and [Gm] these northern nights [F] are dreary, and [Eb] my southern heart's [Bb] _ teary, [F]
[Gm] don't I wonder how [Eb] the old folks [Bb] are back home.
_ [F] But I'll [Gm] keep leaning on [F] my Jesus, [Eb] I know _ _ [Bb] _ _ he'll lead [D]
[Eb] us, _ _ [Bb] Appalachian memories [F] keep [Bb] me strong.
_ _ [F] I'll [Gm] keep looking to [F] the Father, [Eb] keep up _ _ [Bb] the _ _ water, [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Appalachian [Bb] memories _ _
[F] keep _ me _ _ _ _ [Bb] strong. _ _ _ _ _
