Chords for Townes van Zandt - 03 Catfish Song ( A Private Concert)

_ The Catfish Song.
This is about [G] _ _
a river in Tennessee. _ _
Where I used to live in Tennessee.
I guess I live in Tennessee again. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _
Down [C] at the bottom of that dirty [G] old river _
[D] Down where the [C] reeds and the catfish [G] play _
There lies a dream [C]
as soft [G] as the water _
There [C] lies a bluebird that's flown _ [G] away _
[C] _ [D] _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ Well to me it's [C] like springtime and to love it's [G] like the summer
[D] Her brown [A] eyes shown for [C] nobody [G] but me
_ In autumn [A] forever [C] the fool [G] come a-fallin'
And the rain [C] turned to freezing _ _ inside
[G] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _
Well I kindle [C] my fires with the words I [G] can't send you _
[D] The roads I can't follow and the songs I [G] can't sing _
I wander alone [C] on the sleigh [G] bells of winter
Where the stars [C] were a diamond and the world a [G] ring _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _

_ _ _ [C] _ [A] _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _
Well all [C] you young ladies who dream [C#] of [G] tomorrow _
[D] _ While you're listening [C] these words will [G] I say _
Cling to today [C] with its joy [G] and its sorrow _
You'll need [C] all your memories when youth [G] melts away _
[C] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ Well the angel [C] of springtime he rides on [G] the south wind
[D] The angel of summer [C] he does just [G] the same
The angel [A] of [G] autumn [C] she's blue and [G] she's golden
And the angel [C]
of winter good _ _ [G] name
_ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ Down [C] at the bottom of that dirty [G] old river
_ [D] Down where the reeds [C] and the catfish [G] play
_ There lies a dream as [C] soft as the [G] water
There [C] lies a bluebird that's flown _ [G]
away
_ There lies [C]
a bluebird that's flown _ [G] away _ _ _ _ _
