Yankee Lady chords by Jesse Winchester


Jesse Winchester Chords


Jesse Winchester   Yankee Lady  written by Jesse Winchester 


A
I lived with the decent folks 
       D              A
In the hills of old Vermont 
A
Where what you do all day 
  E
Depends on what you want 
      A
And I took up with a woman there 
D                   A
Though I was still a kid 
A
And I smile like the sun 
                    E              A
To think of all the loving that we did 
A
She rose each morning and went off to work 
        D                 A
And she kept me with her pay 
A
I was making sweet love all night 
    E                            A
And playing this old  guitar all day 
A
And I got apple cider and homemade bread 
           D                                  A
That would make a man kneel down he would say grace 
A
And clean linens on our bed 
      E               A
And a warm feet fire place 
D              A
Yankee lady so good to me 
E                  A
Yankee lady just a memory 
D              A
Yankee lady so good to me 
E                           A
Your memories gonna have to do for me 
A
An autumn walk on a old country road 
       D               A
With a million flaming trees 
A
I was feeling a little  uneasy 
                E
Cause there was winter chill in the breeze 
               A
And she said, "Oh Jesse, look over there, 
       D                       A
I see  birds are  they are all southward bound 
A
Oh Jesse, I'm so afraid 
   E                                     A
We are going to lose the love that we've found 
D              A
Yankee lady so good to me 
E                  A
Yankee lady just a memory 
D              A
Yankee lady so good to me 
E                           A
Your memories gonna have to do for me
A
I don't know what called to me 
      D                        A
But I know that I plain had to go 
A
I left that little old  Vermont town 
E
To live down in sunny Mexico 
A
And now when I  can see myself 
D                   A
As a stranger by my birth 
A
The Yankee lady's old memory 
   E               A
To Remind me of my worth 
D              A
Yankee lady so good to me 
E                  A
Yankee lady just a memory 
D              A
Yankee lady so good to me 
E                           A
Your memories gonna have to do for me
