Chords for Old Home Place - Lexington Lab Band

_ _ _ _ Tony Rice brought that song to my attention.
_ Right after he had joined me, we was looking for material to start a new album.
When he played me the recording of it, I said,
man, that'd make a song for us.
So we rehearsed it some and started doing it.
I mean, it's just kind of a neat song.
_ You don't run across songs like that every day.
_ _ _ It just relates to a lot of people.

Well, it's been ten long [Eb] years since I left my [F] home
In a holler where I was born
[Bb] Where the cool fall [Eb] nights make the [Bb] wood smoke rise
And the [F] fire thunder [Bb] blows his horn
Well, _ I fell in [Eb] love with a girl [Bb] from town
I thought that she [F] would be true
[Bb] Well, I [D] ran away [Eb] to _ [Bb] Charlottesville
And [F] worked in a sawmill or two
_ What have they [Bb] done to the old, old [C] place?
Why did they [F] tear it down?
[Bb] And why [D] did I [Eb] leave the plow [Bb] in the field
And look [F] for a job [Bb] in the town?
_ _ _ [D] _ _ [Eb] _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [D] _ _ [Eb] _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Now the girl ran off [Eb] with [Bb] somebody else
The taverns took all [F] my pay
_ [Bb] Now here I stand [Eb] where the old [Bb] home stood
Before [F] they took it [Bb] away _ _ _
Now the geese fly south [Eb] in the [Bb] cold wind blows
As I stand here and [F] hang my head _
[Bb] Well, I've lost [D] my love, [C] I've lost [Bb] my home
And now [F] I wish that I [Bb] was dead _
_ [F] What have they done to the [Bb] old, old place?
[C] Why did they [F] tear it down?
[Bbm] And why [D] did I [Eb] leave the plow [Bbm] in the field
And look [F] for a job [Bb] in the town?
_ _ _ [D] _ _ [Eb] _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ [D] _ _ [C] _ _ [Bb] _

_ [F] What have they done [Bb] to the old, old place?
[C] Why did they [F] tear it down?
[Bb] And why [D] did I [Eb] leave the plow [Bb] in the field
And look for a job in the town? _
