Tom: C#m
B G#m G#
Sarah moved down to Harlan county
E
Found no work and found no bounty
B
Took her share to feed her kin
E
And kept em clear of medicine
C#m
What rotten shape they keep us in
B G#m
When mama couldn't live alone
E C#m
Sarah brought her family home
B B7
With Emma’s baby due in June
E (Em)
Four generations, two bedrooms
C#m
And not one goddamn thing to do
F#m C#m
[Chorus]
E B E B
Can't this world get its use outta me
F# G#m
I'm just like a daisy underneath a canopy
C#m A
With sunlight always out of reach
[Instrumental]
B G#m Bm E B E B C#m A
[Verse]
B G#m
The years had slowed the foundry down
F#m (E)
So Sarah tended bar in town
B
It was such a fight to pry the doors
E
Gettin’ women workin’ on the floors
C#m
No they don't make nothin’ anymore
[Chorus]
E B E B
Can't this world get its use outta me
F# G#m
I'm just like a daisy underneath a canopy
C#m A
With sunlight always out of reach
[Bridge]
D A F# F#m
There's not a dream left in my head
D G#m E
Except to give more than I take
C#m A
But these walls are painted lead
G#m D#m E
And my spirit's shak(en/in)
G#m D#m E
oh oh shakin
G#m D#m B F#m G#m F# E
[Verse]
B
Mama passed in '93
E
Tommy got his GED
B B7
Emma left and married young
E
A man content to raise her son
C#m
But Sarah had nowhere to run
B G#m
So with nothing left to make her stay
E
Sarah thought she’d move away
B B7
But as she combed through locks of greying hair
E
The mirror seemed to catch her stare
C#m F#
No there's no sense going anywhere
[Chorus]
E B E B
Can't this world get its use outta me
F# G#m
I'm just like a daisy underneath a canopy
C#m A E F#
With sunlight always out of reach
N.C
She wondered
E B E B
Can't this world get its use outta me
F# G#m
I'm just a like baby left to swing under a tree
C#m F#
The sunlight never gets to me
