Heartstings

{Verse 1}  
  
G      D                Em   D  
Way up north, where the snow flies  
        C         D      G      D  
and the sun don't hardly shine  
      G      D    Em      D  
If it weren't for, my true love  
         C                D  
I'd have long ago lost my mind  
         C          D      G     
I'd have long ago lost my mind  
  
{Verse 2}  
  
There's good folks here and good folks there  
most everywhere I go  
But the land of my heart is down  
where the snow white cotton grows  
where the snow white cotton grows  
 

[Refrão]
         C          Bm            Am      G  
When the river runs over from the melting snow  
        C           D      G  
we will take to the higher ground  
         C          Bm                Am         G       
when the water goes down again, we'll saddle our old paint  
C        D        G  
we'll be homeward bound  
       C       Bm      D        G  
me and my love will be homeward bound

{verse 3}  
Heartstrings hold tighter than the roots of a live oak tree  
holding through tornado wind  
tougher than timber, stronger than steel  
they'll guide me back southward again  
they'll guide me back southward again
