The Narrows

    D  G    D
Let me tell you,
                                A
About the place where I used to live
  D              G              D
A plot of timber ground, sky so blue
                          A         D
With a creek out back and wildlife, too

                          G            D
I had a spot on the creek I called the Narrows
                                            A
You could step across the rocks and rushing water
      D                   G             D
Build a small fire, watch the hawks and sparrows
                A                  D
And at sun-down I would loosen the halter

               G         D
I would mostly watch and dream
                          A
Write a song or a poem or two
         D           G           D
Peaceful feelings to me it would seem
                     A                    D
And walk back to the cabin in the evening dew

                      G                 D
The next day, I would go to the narrows again,
                                    A
Always see things that I had missed before
     D                   G                    D
Hear natures voices, and trees creakin in the wind
            A                              D
Back to the cabin to rest, close the heavy door

                     G          D
Those were the times I took for granted
                                  A
Not aware of how fortunate that I was
    D             G          D
Now the old cabin roof is so slanted
                A                   D
Watched over by two lovely mourning doves

             G             D            indeed
The Narrows, oh how I miss you......... ....fade.
