In Plain View of The Town
Heading Down To Mystery Below
John Hartford
Banjo tuned Eb, Capo 4, Key of: D
Fog horn and whistle till :34 and to 1:00, music begins at 1:15
Chorus:
D G D
Looks like no matter, how hard they push,
A
These barges are still on the ground
D G D
Must have been embarrasing for the pilot
G D
Here in plain view of the town
G D G
And even though they pushed them over toward shore
D
They still ain't going nowhere
G D
Along the river while people fish
A
And some just sit and stare
Instrumental:
D G D
The sun's going down, it's almost supper,
A
I been a working since early day
D G D
But unless the Ohio comes up a little,
A D
I guess that's where they'll stay
Instrumental:
G D D
Listen to the now I really hit her a lick
G D
He's really mad at it now
G D
They had to face up to the other end
A D
To get it off the ground
Chorus again:
