Hel[A]lo Mary Lou, [D]Good-bye heart,

I said, [Chorus]

I [A]saw your face I heard your voice
[D]believe me I just had no choice
wild [A]horses couldn’t make me stay a[E]way
I [A]thought about a moon lit night
[D]arms around you good and tight
that’s [A]all I had to [E]see for me to [A]say [D] [A]

[Chorus]

So hel[B]lo Mary [E]Lou, Good-bye [A]heart,
Yes hel[B]lo Mary [E]Lou, Good-bye [A]heart… [D] [A]

Gulf Coast Highway (Emmylou Harris and Dave Matthews version)

submitted by Aimee and Minh

Dave Matthews is no Willie Nelson, but i guess he'll do. (originally a Nanci Griffith song.)

Chords used: C-F-G-Am



Capo 2nd fret

[C]Gulf coast highway, he [F]worked the [C]rails,
He worked the rice fields with their cool dark [F]wells,
He worked the [Am]old rigs in the [G]Gulf of Mexi[C]co,
The only [F]thing we've ever [C]owned is this old [G]house here by the [C]road

Chorus:
And when he [Am]dies, he says he'll [G]catch some blackbird's [C]wing;
And he will [F]fly away to [C]heaven,
come some [G]sweet blue bonnet [C]spring

She walked through spring time, when [F]I was [C]home
Our days were sweet, the nights were [F]warm
Seasons [Am]pass, jobs would [G]come, flowers [C]fade,
this old [F]house felt so a[C]lone when the [G]work took me a[C]way

And when she [Am]dies, she says she'll [G]catch some blackbird's [C]wing;
And she will [F]fly away to [C]heaven,
come some [G]sweet blue bonnet [C]spring

[short instrumental... something like Am-C-G... not sure]

Highway 90, the [F]jobs are [C]gone,
We tend our garden, we set the [F]sun
This is the [Am]only place on [G]earth blue bonnets [C]grow
And once a [F]year they come and [C]go
At this old [G]house here by the [C]road

And when we [Am]die, we says we'll [G]catch some blackbird's [C]wing;
And we will [F]fly away to C]gether, come some [G]sweet blue bonnet [C]spring;
And we will [F]fly away to C]gether, come some [G]sweet blue bonnet [C]spring
