[A]
[E] I lived with the decent folks [A] in the hills of old Vermont.
[E] Well, what you got [F#] [B] depends on [E] what you want.
And [A] I [E] took up with a woman there, [G] although I [A] was still a kid.
[E] [A] And I smiled at the sun to think of [B] the loving that [A] we did.
She rose each morning and went off to work [Dm] and kept me [A] with her pay.
I was making sweet love all night and playing the [E] soul guitar all day.
[D]
[A] I had apple cider and homemade bread that would make a man kneel down when he would say [A] grace.
And clean linens on our veil, [E] warm feet, soft [A] place.
[D]
Yaki lady, so good to me.
[B] [E]
Yaki lady, just a [A] memory.
[D]
Yaki lady, you were [A] so good to me.
[E]

I was walking on autumn walk on an old country road [D] with a million [A] flaming trees.
And I was feeling a little uneasy because there [E] was winter, something chilly in the [F#m]
breeze.
[E] And she said, [A] oh, well, look over there.
I see [D] birds and they are all south [A] of us.
And oh, Jesse, now I am so afraid that we're going [E] to lose all this love that we [A] found.

Yaki lady, [A] so good to me.

Well, I don't know just what called to me.
But boy, [D] I know that our plane [A] had to go.
[E] [A]
And I left that little Vermont [E] town with the lift down to sunny [E] Mexico.
[A]
And now when I can see my own self [D] as a stranger by [A] my birth.
With the Yaki lady's old memory can [E]
remind me of [A] my worth.
