Yankee Lady chords
Jesse Winchester
A Asus4 4x
A
I lived with the decent folks
D A
In the hills of old Vermont
Where what you do all day
E
Depends on what you want
A
And I took up with a woman there
D A
Though I was still a kid
And I smile like the sun
E A A Asus4
To think of all the loving that we did
A
She rose each morning and went to work
D A
And she kept me with her pay
I was making sweet love all night
E
And playing guitar all day
A
And I got apple cider and homemade bread
D A
to make a man say grace
And clean linens on my bed
E A A Asus4
And a warm feet fire place
D A
Yankee lady so good to me
E A
Yankee lady just a memory
D A
Yankee lady so good to me
E A A Asus4
Your memory, that s enough for me
A
An autumn walk on a country road
D A
With a million flaming trees
I was feeling uneasy
E
Cause there was winter in the breeze
A
And she said, "Oh Jesse, look over there,
D A
the birds are southward bound
A
Oh Jesse, I'm so afraid
E A Asus4 A A7
to lose the love that we've found
D A
Yankee lady so good to me
E A
Yankee lady just a memory
D A
Yankee lady so good to me
E A A Asus4
Your memory, that s enough for me
A E A
A
I don't know what called to me
D A
But I know had to go
I left Vermont town
E
With a lift to Mexico
A
And now when I see myself
D A
As a stranger by my birth
Yankee lady's memory
E A A7
Reminds me of my worth
D A
Yankee lady so good to me
E A
Yankee lady just a memory
D A
Yankee lady so good to me
E A A Asus4
Your memory, that s enough for me
