Written & Recorded by: Johnny Cash
Capo 2
INTRO: G/C/G/C/G/D/G
(G) On October (C) Twenty-(G)-Third, Nineteen (C) Seventy-(G)-Eight
I (C) lost a (G) loved one and I confess I (D) cried
In the (G) joyous (C) cele-(G)-bration of the (C) lady and her music
There were (G) tears in the (C) Holston (G) River
When (D) Maybelle Carter (G) died (G7)
Then (C) walking down that river road
I saw (G) crystal tear-shaped droplets
Silver beads of love sparklin' on the river (D) side
And I'll just (G) bet they turn to diamonds
For the (C) love that was behind 'em
There were (G) tears in the (C) Holston (G) River
When (D) Mother Maybelle (G) died
Then on (G) Janu-(C)-ary (G) Eighth, Nineteen-(C)-Seventy-(G)-Nine
We lost (C) Sara (G) Carter
And the pain was multi-(D)-plied
Down be-(G)-low that (C) old Clinch (G) Mountain
We (C) laid her at Mount Vernon
There were (G) tears in the (C) Holston (G) River
When (D) Sara Carter (G) died (G7)
Then (C) walking down that river road
I (G) saw crystal tear-shaped droplets
Silver beads of love sparklin' on the river-(D)-side
And I'll just (G) bet they turn to diamonds
For the (C) love that was behind 'em
There were (G) tears in the (C) Holston (G) River
When (D) Maybelle & Sara (G) died
There were (G) tears in the (C) Holston (G) River
When Mother (C) Maybelle and (G) Sara (D) Carter (G) died
