Oh, play me some mountain music
     A                                D
Like grandma and grandpa used to play

Then I'll float on down the river
       E       A
To a Cajun hideaway.

Drift away like Tom Sawyer
            A             D 
Ride a raft with ol' Huck Finn

Take a nap like Rip Van Winkle,

This is for the one who swings the hammer,
G-G                        D
Drivin' home the nails,
              A-A
For the one who's behind the counter,
G-G                   D
Ringin' up the sales,
              Bm
For the one who finds the fire,
        F#m                   G

In the factories and the fields,
G                                       A
In the City streets and the quiet country towns,
              D
Workin' together, 
        A               D
Like spokes inside a wheel,

They keep this country turnin' around,

Hello Kansas! (Wheat field farmers),
           G               D
And I thank you for your time,
                     G                 D

This is for the one who drives the big rigs,
         A        D
Up and down the road,
For the one out in the warehouse,
               D
Bringin' in the load,
         A                            D
For the waitress, the mechanic, the policeman on patrol,
G                              A
For everyone who works behind the scenes,
             A
With a spirit you can't replace with no machine-e-e-e,

 

Angels Among Us
Tom: G
Intro:  G D/F#   C(add D)    G Bm7   C(add D) D7
 Spoken:
  G             D/F# 
 I was walkin' home from school
  Em7   C(add D) 
 On a cold winter day,
  G                Em7        C(add D) 
 Took a short cut through the woods
       D  
 And I lost my way.
  G             D/F#    Em7      C(add D) 
 It was gettin' late, and I was scared and alone.
  G               Fm7       C(add D)       D 
 Then a kind old man took my hand, and led me home.
 Sung:
  C(add D)         Bm7 
 Mama couldn't see him, 
      C(add D)       D7 
 But he was standing there,
      C(add D)    G/B 
 And I knew in my heart 
             C(add D)     D7 
 He was the answer to my prayer.
 Chorus:
   G add A     Em7             Am7    D7  
 Oh, I be  -  lieve there are Angels Among Us,

 Sent down to us from somewhere up above. 
  D7          G add A   Em7   C              D7 
 They come to you and me in our darkest hours
     C add D       Bm7  
 To show us how to live
     C add D        D7  
 To teach us how to give

 To guide us with a light of love.
 Instrumental:  G Bm7   C add D    D7 
  G             D/F# 
 When life held troubled times
  Em7   C(add D) 
 And had me down on my knees
  G          Em7        C(add D) 
 There's always been someone 
       D  
 To come along and comfort me
  G             D/F#    Em7      C(add D) 
 A kind word from a stranger To lend a helping hand
  G               Fm7       C(add D)       D 
 A phone call from a friend just to say I understand
  C(add D)         Bm7 
 Now ain't it kind of funny 
      C(add D)       D7 
 At the dark end of the road
      C(add D)    G/B             C(add D)     D7 
 Someone light the way with just a single ray of hope.
 **Chorus
 Bridge:
  C add D      Bm7  
 They wear so many faces, 
  C add D        Bm7 
 Show up in the strangest places
      C add D             Bm7     Am7           D7  
 And grace us with their mercies in our time of need.
 **Chorus
     C add D        D7       G  
 To guide us with a light of love.

G                                   D                    Am
Sometimes her morning coffee's way too strong
       C                                             D         G

C      D   G                           D               
Right or wrong, she's there beside me

Like only a friend would be
               Am                    Cm           G     C/D

Now she's been known to wear her pants too tight
       C                                  D       G
And drinking puts her out just like a light
C   D      G                        D
Heaven knows she's not an angel
               Am    G/B   C
But she'd really like to be
               Am                   Cm           G     Am   G/B
And that's close enough to perfect for me
Chorus:
      C                                                G
She kisses me each morning.......And smiles her sleepy smile
C            G/B       Am   G           F        Am7/E  D     D7
She don't have to say it.......I can see it in her   eyes

Down Home
Tom: G
G               D 
Just off of the beaten path
C                  D 
A little dot on a state road map
C                  D                 G
That's where I was born & where I'll die
G                 D 
Things move at a slower pace
C             D 
Nobody's in a rat race
  C                       D             G
And these days that's a special way to fly
Chorus:

C    G                               C                 D

Folks know if they're fallin on hard times they can fall back on
G                  C   D    G
Those of us raised up Down Home
G                    D
In the corner of a hardware store
C                  D 
Gathered round a checker board
C               D                G
Old men telling lies & crowning kings
G                     D  
Kids drivin round the old town square
C                       D
Tops rolled down in the cool night air
C                 D                   G
Go & see what's shakin at the Dairy Queen
**Chorus

When I was a boy I couldn't wait to leave this place
    D            C               D
But now I wanna see my children raised

Old Flame
Tom: G
              G
    I saw you staring, at each other,
                              D
    I saw your eyes, begin to glow.
            G                   Em
    I could tell, you once were lovers,
    G                D               G

    CHORUS:
               C                         G
    There's an old flame burnin' in your eyes.
         Em                                    D
    That tears can't drown and makeup can't disguise.
             G
    That old flame might not be stronger,
                          C
    but it's been burnin' longer,
             G                  D               G
    than any spark I might have started in your eyes.
                G
    You said it ended, when he left you.
                                 D
    You say your love, for me is strong.
                  G                 Em
    But those old memries, still upset you.
