Memories Of East Texas by Michelle Shocked
Memories Of East Texas
[Verse 1]
G C D
Memories of East Texas and those pine-green rolling hills
G C D
Covered in the springtime with go1den daffodil1s
C D G Bm Em
Rowing on Sandy lake come April, harvesting hay in June
C
Sitting by the road watching well fires burn by an o1d October
D7
moon
[Chorus]
C D G
I learned to drive on those East Texas red clay backroads
C D G
And I mean to tell you my friend they weren't no easy roads
C D G Bm Em
You had to watch out for all the curves down by Ke1sey Creek
C
And detour through the Lindsay' s pasture when the waters
D
ran too deep
[Verse 2]
G C D
Memories of East Texas and of Gilmer, county seat of Upshur
G C
Looking back and asking myself * 'What the hell did you let them
D
break your spirit for?'
C D G
Their lives ran in circles so small, they thought
Bm Em
they’d seen it all
C
And they couldn't make a place for a girl who'd seen
D7
the ocean
[Chorus]
C D G
I learned to drive on those East Texas red clay backroads
C D G
And I mean to tell you my friend they weren't no easy roads
C D G Bm Em
You had to watch out for all the curves down by Ke1sey Creek
C
And detour through the Lindsay' s pasture when the waters
D
ran too deep
[Verse 3]
G C
But those memories of East Texas and those pine-green rolling
D
hills
G C D
Covered in the springtime with wild daffodils
C D G Bm Em
Sitting in those Piney woods, playing my guitar
C
Thinking back on the roads I ' d come, thinking I had not come
D7
that far
[Chorus]
C D G
I learned to drive on those East Texas red clay backroads
C D G
And I mean to tell you my friend they weren't no easy roads
C D G Bm Em
You had to watch out for all the curves down by Ke1sey Creek
C
And detour through the Lindsay' s pasture when the waters
D
ran too deep

Verse 2 played the same as verse 1
Memories of East Texas and of Gilmer, county seat of Upshur
Looking back and asking myself ``What the hell did you let them break your spirit for?'
Their lives ran in circles so small, they thought they'd seen it all
And they couldn't make a place for a girl who'd seen the ocean
