Look Away Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]I'm[G][Am][Em][C][G][D]
[G]goin' where the water rolls,
[Bm]Moses knows the way
To my [Em]tin roof shanty by the railroad [D]sign
where the [C]whistle blows for days
Where the [G]mountains bare the face,
of [Bm]an injun brave
And the [Em]green fields fade
[D]such a [C]beautiful gray
Look [Am]away, look [Em]away[D]

[Verse 2]
Hear the [G]homeward call
of the [Bm]mockingbird
Gone [Em]to town just like a banjo [D]ringin'
from a [C]dime store curb
See the [G]sign on the cross,
sayin' [Bm]"Brother ain't you heard?"
That [Em]this is the land where salva
[D]tion ain't a [C]dirty word

[Verse 3]
Cold bottled milk and [D]honey mean
more than a pocket full of money
[G]Oh Mama can you [F]feel me drawin' [Em]near?
Been lovin' you [C]down through the years
Even on the [D]darkest days
Look [G]away, look [D]away

[Verse 4]
I'm [G]goin' where the cotton grows
in [Bm]rows of snowy bales
Where a [Em]man and a mule don't look much d[D]if
ferent to the [C]boss man's scale
Where the [G]long leaf pine
[D]hide a sec[Bm]ret place
That [Em]everybody knows what it looks
like [D]but can't [C]nobody see

[Verse 5]
Cold bottled milk and [D]honey mean
more than a pocket full of money
[G]Oh Mama can you [F]feel
me drawin' [Em]near?
Keep lovin' you [C]down through the years
Even on the [D]darkest days
I look [G]away, I look [D]away
To that [Em][?] around the sun still spinnin'
and shinin' over the [A]Lee Highway
I look [C]away, I look [D]away,

[Verse 6]
I'm [G]goin' where the water rolls,
[Bm]Moses knows the way
To my [Em]old homestead where the lights I
[D]trimmed and [C]burnin' 'til day
Where the [G]singin' river flows,
and it [Bm]knows every name
Of a [Em]thousand years of footsteps
[D]chasin' its [C]wide domain

[Verse 7]
Cold bottled milk and [D]honey mean
more than a pocket full of money
[G]Oh Mama can you [F]feel
me drawin' [Em]near?
Keep lovin' you [C]down through the years
Even on the [D]darkest days
I look [G]away, I look [D]away
[Em]To that [?] around the sun still spinnin'
and shinin' over the [A]Lee Highway
Oh [C]I look away, I look [D]away
