[Intro]
Bm
[Verse 1]
Bm
There's and old dirt road, just off route 9
G A Bm
Fades into the lake, at the low water line
Sometimes I wonder, down that road alone
G A Bm
Rememberin' the town, I once called home
I grew up in the valley, every neighbor a friend
G A Bm
Until the modern world, started creeping in
One day came the lawyers, with cash in hand
G A Bm
They swore that our village, would light up the land
[Chorus]
G A Bm
The dusky waters, moved cold and slow
D F#
And the ghosts of a village, still wonder below
G Bm
Homesteads and families, and friends forevermore
G A Bm
Haunting the valley, beyond this sparklin' shore
[Verse 2]
Bm
Surrounded the valley, was a painted red line
G A Bm
Drawn by company men, like mocking crane
A solid reminder, that all the siding must go
G A Bm
Ah but lost to the rising, dead river's flow
Some folks took the money, started grinding gears
G A Bm
While the rest of us held out, for 20 hard years
We watched our town, like a photograph fade
G A Bm
Until the company came, and took it all away
[Verse 3]
Bm
They tore down a church, and a school house burned
G A Bm
They dug up the graves, though as the progress turned
They got Dutchy's Store and Heaven's Pool Hall
G A Bm
And when the dozers rolled, we shattered a soul
[Chorus]
G A Bm
The dusky waters, moved cold and slow
D F#
And the ghosts of a village, still wonder below
G Bm
Homesteads and families, and friends forevermore
G A Bm
Haunting the valley, beyond this sparklin' shore
[Instrumental]
Bm ? G ? A ? Bm (X2)
[Verse 4]
Bm
Shake off the memories, on my lips of prayer
G A Bm
I'm thanking God for the Grace, and the beauty down there
While the porch lights glow all over the states
G A Bm
There's nothing but darkness, under the lake
[Chorus]
G A Bm
The dusky waters, moved cold and slow
D F#
And the ghosts of a village, still wonder below
G Bm
Homesteads and families, and friends forevermore
G A Bm
Haunting the valley, beyond this sparklin' shore
