Long Bed From Kenya chords by Joan Baez
Guitar chords with lyrics
Long bed from Kenya Capo 4th fret C G Am F See the Redtail on her perch upon the fencepost, C G Highway 40 roll on by. C G Am F If I could reach across the distance for a moment, C G C I'd steal the sadness from her eyes. C G Am F 2. It's February and the weather's clear for driving, C G how I've missed your Tennessee. C G Am F The morning sun just stole the shadows from the mountains, C G C and the years away from me.

Chorus
G F C
Yes I've changed and I knew that I was able,
G E Am
but you still look the same to me.
F G C Am
And your eyes are just as blue across the table,
C G C
as the sky in Tennessee.
+ instrumental
C G Am F
This old farm is ne'er so big as I remember,
C G
now the fields are burned and brown.
C G Am F
The Pigeon River's running deeper than December,
C G C
where the Winter snows lay down.
C - G Am F
How you love your house and this long bed sent from Kenya,
C G
and the telling of the story of the woman you met there.
C - G Am F
She's a darkhaired beauty - my hair's only growing thinner,
C G C
and my threads a little bare.
G F C
Yes I've changed and I knew that I was able,
G E Am
but you still look the same to me.
F G C Am
And your eyes are just as blue across the table,
C G C
as the sky in Tennessee.
instrumental
C G Am F
In the silence hear the years, we dare not speak of,
C G
let this arrow pass on through.
C G Am F
And I'll be gone before my heart has met resistance,
C G C
like you hoped that I would do.
C G Am F
See the Redtail turn her wing toward the mountain,
C G
God there's sunlight in your smile.
C G Am F
If I could reach across the distance for a moment,
C G C
I'd steal her memory from your eyes.
G F C
Yes I've changed and I knew that I was able,
G E Am
but you still look the same to me.
F G C Am
And your eyes are just as blue across the table,
C. G C
Than the sky in Tennessee (bis)
