Red Buds
Tuning: standard
Intro: G A C G 2x
Verse:
G A C
Well the wind blows hard upon weepin' will hair and the red buds
G G A
sway in the breeze/ And if you listen real close you can hear the
C G
distant cry of a broken man on his knees.
Chorus:
C G
And the rain beats hard on a poor man's head
C G
And the wind blows the nails out of the tin roof of shame
A C G (A little hammer on pull
And the water keeps on risin at the old homestead ...off on the A string)
Verse:
G A C
Well if the corns knees high by the fourth of July and Mother Nature
G G A
smiles on us all/ And there's a ring around the moon and that means
C G
rain is comin' soon and we'll have a good harvest this fall.
Chorus:
C G
And the rain beats hard on a poor on man's head
C C
And the wind blows the nails out of the tin roof of shame
A C G
And the moon keeps on shinin at the old homestead
Verse:
G A C
Well the wind blows through the wheat field at night and it plays a
G G A
lonely tune/ And the bones clatter in the trees waving endless summer
C G
breeze/ Well there ain't nothin like Lee County in June
Chorus:
C G
And the rain beats hard on a poor man's head
C G
And the wind blows the nails out of the tin roof of shame
A C G
And the river keeps on flowin at the old homestead
