Chords for Emmylou Harris - 'Darlin' Kate' (live) - Bowery Ballroom, NYC - 4/26/11

A [D#] wonderful singer, August, who passed away a year [F#] ago in January.
_ [G#m] _ She was one half of a duo, [A#] the sister act, Kate and [F#] Anna McGear-Gould. _ _
[C#] _ _ [A#m] _ _ [C#] _ [F#] Don't _
[G#] _ _ _ [C#m] mean to make everybody [F#] too sad, but when we get to that age, [C#] we'll lose people _ [F#] that we admired and [D#] people [C#] that we loved. _
Anyway, this is [E] just sort of [D#] my farewell note [C#] to Kate. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Kate, you_ _
_ [C#] _ _ _ We _ _
_ [G#] _ _ [D#m] went [D#] out on the road once and she had the_
Maple, [G#] what was that [D#] banjo thing she had?
The six string banjo, [C#] yeah.
Guitar banjo, six string [F#] banjo, and you [C] know, that [F] drove Maple crazy trying [E] to tune it.
But somehow, when [C] Kate played [F#] it, it always sounded okay. _
[G#] Do you hear [C#] me? _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A#] _ _ _
[D#m] _ Yes.
_ [A#] _ Take it straight, eh, straight.
_ _ _ [D#] _ [A#m] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A#] Okay.
Here we go.
[A#m] _ _ _ _ Oh, _
[C#] _ _ I know you [G#] guys.
_ [C#] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ So [F#] it's fine to come, _ _ [C#] you're a worthless world.
_ _ [G#] But we'll miss our Kate, _ [C#m] our darling girl. _
We [F#] held your hand, _ [C#] kissed your lovely brow.
_ _ [G#] And bid farewell, _ _ _ [C#m] you're sailing now.
_ [A#m] Free from the pain, _ you [G#] laid that burden down. _
[F#] But you're strong in giving heart, we'll [G#] surely be your crown.
_ _ [C#] As you sloop the surly bonds of earth and sail [G#] away.
_ _ [A#m] _ _ Perhaps we will meet again [G#] somehow, someday.
_ _ [C#] [F#] Until then, _ there's nothing we [C#] can do but wait to _ [G#] see once more, _ _ [C#] our darling.
_ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
[C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G#] _ _ _ _
_ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G#] _
_ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ All [F#] those nights we sang, _ talked [C#] to a certain one.
_ _ _ [G#] Filled our souls, _ [C#] can you fill her cup _ _ [F#] with your perfect words?
_ [C#] And all that voice, _ _ _ _ [G#] fulfilling love, _ _ _ [C#] we had no choice.
_ And [A#m] I can't say for [G#] sure where you have gone. _
But [F#] in that place, I bet [G#] there's a better song.
[C#] _ [G#] _ We [C#] all [F#] know down here, the taste of [C#] joy and strife.
_ The worthiest, [G#] sweetest note _ _ [C#] in the chord of life.
_ Now you sloop the surly bonds of earth and [G#] sail away. _
_ _ [A#m] _ _ _ We'll meet again [G#] somehow, someday. _ _ _
[F#] But if there was one name [C#] I could consecrate, _ _ _ [G#] it would be you all.
_ _ _ [C#] It would be you.
