Sam Amidon - As I Roved Out (Official Video) chords
Start Jamming...
This song is about how you might be [G#m] out on a cold [C] winter's night, you might head into
the woods, [N] maybe you bring a bottle of wine or head out into the woods, into the mountains
and, because maybe you're trying to find some sort of inspiration, you look around, but
[E] at a certain [G#] point as you get out there, the trees, the sun goes down [N] and the shapes of
the trees starts to emerge and they start to remind you of people you were trying to
remember about, or people you were trying to forget about.
It's a form of inspiration
you aren't intending.

[B] As
[F#] I rode down [Bm]
on [F#] a [B] cold winter's night, drinking of [D] sweet wine, [Bm] I spot [F#] that girl, sweet little
girl,
[F#m] [Bm] who broke this heart [F#m] of mine.
What is the [B] banjo?

[D]
Her cheeks are [F#m] like [B] summer roses,
laughter's in the mouth of you,
her [D] voice [B] is like [F#] summer's crumb,
[F#m] [Bm]
that's always on [F#] so few.
What is the banjo?

[B]
[G] I wish you the most [F#]
that I've ever been born,
for then I [F#m] was young and [F#] never [B] would have kissed your red [F#] rooey lips,
[F#m] [F#]
[G] or heard your [F#m] lion song.
What is [D] the banjo?

Oh, [F#]

[F#] [B]
[F#m] the green, green grass trampled [F#] under,
[F#m] rising
[F#]
[G] bright, loving is the killing,
[F#m]
did you ever feel [B]
such pain?
