Adam & Eve Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]That Mississippi farm wasn't much
But girl, it was a [A]home for us.
Now we can never [D]go back
Because I heard [G]it from the Judge.
He [D]said: "Son,
the people in the valley won't
Have anything to [A]do with you [Am]now".
[A]So good[C]bye for the very last [D]time
To the place we [G]love somehow.

[Verse 2]
We can never [D]go back to the
garden of Eden.
Adam and Eve have sinned.
We can't go back again. Oh no no.

[Verse 3]
[C]She was sixteen and [A]I
was a twenty- [D]five.
For the [C]first time in [A]my life
I really felt [D]alive.
But we never should have [Em]done
what we done when
We took that little run [D]into town.
The [Em]Bank Teller made a wrong move
And I cut him [D]down (gunshot).

[Verse 4]
We can never go back to
the garden of Eden.
Adam and Eve have sinned.
We can't go back again. Oh no
no [C]no. Oh no no [E]no.

[Verse 5]
From the get[A]away car
to the hideout,
Thinkin' 'bout the [B]dyin' man.
And no mat[Bb]ter how hard I washed
[E]I couldn't get the stain of [A]fa my hands.
But [Em]Eve you were there beside
me even though
[Bm]The chips were down.
[D]And I heard you cry out to [E]me
As they took us back [A]into the town.

[Verse 6]
We can never [E]go back to the
garden of Eden.
Adam and Eve have sinned.
We can't go back again. [Em]Oh no
[D]no no. Oh no no [F#]no.

[Verse 7]
Now this [B]Louisiana farm
they sent us to,
It 'ain't [C#]like our home.
[C#m]They got you workin' too hard[F#]
An' they got me [B]bustin' up stone.
But I be[F#m]lieve one day they'll pardon us
[F#]And [C#m]we'll walk away.
And [E]Eve I'll still love you [F#]then
Although we'll be [B]old and grey.

[Verse 8]
But we can never [F#]go back
to the garden of Eden.
Adam and Eve have sinned.

[Verse 9]
We can't go back again. Oh no no.
[E]You were sixteen and [C#m]I
was a [F#]twenty- five.
For the [E]first time in [C#m]my life
I really [C#]felt [F#]alive.
But we never should have
[G#m]done what we done
When we took that little run [F#]into town.
The [G#m]Bank Teller made a wrong move
And we cut [F#]him down (gunshot).

[Verse 10]
We can never go back to the
garden of Eden.
Adam and Eve have sinned.
We can't go back again. Oh no
no [E]no. Oh no no [G#m]no.[C#]
[Eb]Oh no, oh no, oh [Ebm]no, oh[G#] no,[C#]
[G#m]oh no, oh no....
