Artist/Band: Beccy Cole Tabs
Song: Blackwood Hill Tab
Blackwood Hill
E
In my mind I see a picture and my thoughts begin to roam
A
to the rowlden hills and valleys that surround my childhood home
F#m B7 E
I can almost smell the flowers growing wild along the track down to the stream.
I hear grandpa telling stories sitting on the front porch swing
A
scattered all around are pages of the songs that I would sing
F#m B7
and there I am cross legged on a dream
CHORUS:
A
I'd sing coat of many colours, I knew every word by heart
B
and I'd fumble through the changes on an old flat top guitar
A F#m B7 E
make believe the city hills rolled into the smokey mountains tennessee.
A
I'd swap bubble gum for curtain calls with other kids my age
B
and the shows would last for hours on the Opry tree house stage
A B7 E
and the dreams of little children echoe still, on Blackwood hill.
I recall the day I packed my bags and waved Blackwood goodbye
rowlden hills were in my rear view mirror, stars were in my eyes
and I traded hairbrush microphones and tree house shows for lights and centre stage.
sometimes the road I lived on leads me back to my old world
on the front porch of my childhood home sits a little girl
her innocence helps me turn back the page,
when
CHORUS
Bridge:
A B A E
Every day was full of music, family and best friends.
A B A B7
troubles of the world erased, by games of lets pretend.
CHORUS
A B7 E
The little girl inside of me is dreaming still, on blackwood hill.
