Tuning: Standard, Capo 4th Fret
I'm only putting the chords down, but the melody is played alongside the chords. Once
know the chords though, it's pretty easy to figure out the melody and play it while finger picking.
Verses:
G C Am
lord have mercy on my mind
C F
mercy on my memory
G C Am
I'm lying neath the same Virginia sky
C F Am Am/G F
where she lay beside me, biding time
C F
trying to abide me
G C Am
every night when the night was long
C F
she was clinging to me

cross the rolling water

where's your restless daughter?
