Cumberland Sound (Cifras)

Cumberland Sound





E                                    A

This old hound is St. Mary’s bound

          B                                                              E

And this old hound has still got a ways to go

                                                                      A

Spend the first half of your just trying to run away

                        B                                                        E

Spend the second half just trying to get back home



Chorus:

                                     A 

To the Cumberland Sound

             B                                                         E

Someday I’ll cross that river and settle down

     C#m                               A           B                 E               F#m

Like voices from the timber, I can’t get it out of my head

                A              

It’s all I hear



E A B E



E                                                        A

Cotton ain’t the king no more, Kudzu is

             B                                                                      E

It’s swallowing up the land and choking off the life

                                                                A

Inch by inch it pushed me to the precipice

     B                                                                           E

Gonna wade right in that water and float on down



Chorus:



  E                                                  A

This old hound is St. Mary’s bound

          E                                                                     E

And this old hound ain’t nowhere near there yet

                                                                              A

But the ground been frozen since the new year

          B                                                                  E

And the cold dry air lies hard against my veins



Chorus:
