Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][C][F][G][F][Am][C][F][G][F]
[G][F]

[Verse 1]
[Am]I grew up in a t[C]own with one red lig[F]ht
[Am]How that train[C] would rattle me
in [F]the middle of the night
But [Am]I slept like a[C]
baby in [F]that bed
'Cause mama kep[G]t me warm and
she kept [Am]me fe[C]d
[F]

[Verse 2]
[Am]July [C]3rd was a dreaded
friend [F]of mine
We'd [Am]all go down t[C]o the family
plot in [F]the Louisiana pines
[Am]Staring at [C]that little baby's [F]grave
Stella was as [G]young as she
[Am]was [C]brave

[Verse 3]
[F]
And what I'd give to go there [C]again
Kiss my daddy's [G]face,
hold my mama's [Am]hand
Little did I [F]know soon they would [C]be
Lying right [G]beside her,
gone away from [Am]me[C][G]
Gone [F]away [Am]from me
[C][G][F]

[Verse 4]
They [Am]always made [C]us kneel by
[F]grandpa's [Am]grave
Mama [G]was a-wailing [C]asking asking
[F]God if he was saved
[Am]I never liked [G]to see [C]my daddy cry[F]
I guess I'll never [G]know how
[Am]grandpa [C]died
[F]

[Verse 5]
And what I'd give to go there [C]again
Kiss my [G]daddy's face,
hold my mama's [Am]hand
Little did I [F]know soon they [C]would be
Lying right [G]beside him,
gone away from [Am]me[C][F]
Gone away from [Am]me[C]
(Gone away [F]from me)
Gone away from [Am]me,
[C]from me (Gone away [F]from me)
Gone away from [Am]me[C]
(Gone away [F]from [C]me)[F]

[Verse 6]
You [Am]barely even see
[C]the tombstones [F]now
[Am]The trees are grown up everywhere and
[F]no one keeps the grounds
[Am]Strangers live inside my
child[G]hood [F]home
And I can't believe that [G]daddy's
[Am]really gone
[C][F][C]

[Verse 7]
[F]
And what I'd give to go there [C]again
Kiss his [G]withered face,
hold her gentle [Am]hand
[F]But there ain't no way
that will ever [C]be
They lie beneath that [G]old tree,
Gone away from [Am]me[C]
(Gone away [F]from me)
Gone away from [Am]me[C][F]
Gone away from [Am]me[C]
(Gone away [F]from me)

[Verse 8]
Well [Am]I grew up in a [C]town
with one red light
[F][F]
