[A]Lord have [D]mercy

[Verse 1]
on my [A]mind[Bm]
Mercy on my [D]memory[G]
I'm [A]lying 'neath the [D]same
Virginia [A]sky[Bm]
Where she [D]lay beside [G]me, [Bm]biding [G]time
Trying [Bm]to ab[G]ide me
[A]Every [Bm]night [D]when the
night [A]was [Bm]long
She was [D]clinging to [G]me
[A]Told [D]me twice that her love
was [Bm]strong
Stronger [D]than the love [G]in
[Bm]old [G]love songs
She was [Bm]singing [D]to [G]me
[Bm]O,

[Verse 2]
[A]shenand[G]oah
Cross the rolling [D]wa [G]ter
[Bm]O, s[A]henandoa[G]h
Where's your rest[D]less daugh[G]ter?
[A]Don't know [D]what I gave them

[Verse 3]
[Bm]for
All my [D]little les[G]sons
[A]How you start the [D]peas before
the [A]corn[Bm]
How you [D]start before [G]the air [Bm]is wa[G]rm
She [D]was never [G]listening
[A]I could see it there [D]in her sorry [Bm]eyes
Hear it [D]in her breath[G]ing
[A]Didn't come to [D]me like some surprise
[Bm]Didn't even [D]ask [G]her why[Bm][G]
When she [Bm]said, [D]"I'm leav[G]ing"
[Bm]O, s[A]hen

[Verse 4]
[G]andoah
Cross [D]the rolling [G]water
[Bm]O, s[A]henandoa[G]h
Where's your willful [A]daughter?[D][Bm]

[Verse 5]
[A]squash[Bm]
I brought [D]in the [G]melon
[A]Cortland, [D]empire, macin[A]tosh
[Bm]On the afternoon[G]
be[Bm]fore [G]the frost
I could [Bm]feel [D]it coming
[G]I c[A]an see her now[D] in
her flowery [Bm]clothes
All of those [D]things I bought [G]her
[A]Trailing her per[D]fume wherever
she [A]goes[Bm]

daugh[G]ter?
