Verne's Original Banjo Songs Vol IV
Capo 1 Key of D (Banjo Tuned to E)
I Have Got To Get Back
I (D) have got to get (A) back (D) home
(G) Away from this city (D) life
And this damned (A) old tele-(D) phone
Fast life is a strain (A) on me and my (D) wife
I get off the (A) Inter- (D) state
And (G) drive the black tops and the blue (D) highways
Looking for old land (A) marks in my (D) state
Longing to get back to the (A) good old (D) days
There is (A) Narita (D) Hill,
Where (G) my grand dad was (D) born
Two miles further down the (A) gravel (D) road
My dads home place, (A) now well (D) worn
I (G) walk the hilly (D) fields,
Looking for flint and (A) arrowheads
Hoping (D) my search (G) will yield
The (D) thrills I knew (A) as a (D) kid
Yes, I have to get (A) back (D) home
(G) Away from this city (D) life
Hoping my (G) search will yield
The (D) thrills I knew (A) as a (D) kid----(fade)
