"YOU CAN'T GO HOME AGAIN," by Nanci Griffith

G                     A7       *
So much silence to my hometown streets
D7                                   G
Gonna put my cheek to the window and watch it sleep
G                           A7       *
Where the shadows fall from sycamore trees
D7                                    G
Fight off this north wind and I'll be headin' back east

(chorus)

C       Bm             Am             G
Let the Colorado River roll on to the sea
C         Bm             Dsus7**
I will be crossing it in changes
C                    Bm                   Am       G
This 'ole town never did really care that much for me
C            Bm           Dsus7**         G
I don't know why I always come here in my dreams

It's the hardest to hold but it's the easiest to find
If you'll slip for the dollar I'll fall in your wine
But you cannot save your past for today
It will leave you cold on an outbound train

(chorus)

Folded memories in my soul
It's that old blue line that you can never go back home
So I'm waiting for the moon to rise
He'll kiss my tears away and set my heart in line

(chorus)

C       Bm             Am             G
Let the Colorado River roll on to the sea
C         Bm             Dsus7**
I will be crossing it in changes
C                    Bm                   Am       G
This 'ole town never did really care that much for me
C      Bm           Dsus7**     G
I only come here to remember my dreams
