Gone Away From Me

• Am

You start on an Am for two beats then move the finger that's on the second fret of the D 
string up to the second fret of the A string for two beats (Amadd9). Then A regular C 
for two beats, then pull off on the D string for two beats (Csus2).  I also like to pull  
off on the B string in the middle of playing the Fs in the verses.

Intro - Am | Amadd9 | C | Csus2 | F (2x)

Am    Amadd9   C           Csus2 F 
I grew up in a town with one red light 
Am       Amadd9    C       Csus2      F 
How that train would rattle me in the middle of the night 
    Am      Amadd9 C    Csus2   F 
But I slept like a baby in that bed 
F                  G                     Am | Amadd9 | C | Csus2 | F 
Cause mama kept me warm and she kept me fed 


Am   Amadd9    C       Csus2     F 
July 3rd was a dreaded friend of mine 
     Am      Amadd9     C      Csus2      F 
We'd all go down to the family plot in the Louisiana pines 
Am      Amadd9  C     Csus2    F 
Staring at that little baby's grave 
F             G                Am | Amadd9 | C | Csus2 | F 
Stella was as young as she was brave 

             F                C 
And what I'd give to go there again 
                G                    Am 
Kiss my daddy's face, hold my mama's hand 
             F                    C 
Little did I know soon they would be 
                   G                   Am | Amadd9 | C | Csus2 | F 
Lying right beside her, gone away from me 
               Am | Amadd9 | C | Csus2 | F 
Gone away from me 

     Am     Amadd9  C        Csus2     F 
They always made us kneel by grandpa's grave 
Am   Amadd9 C      Csus2  F 
Mama was a-wailing asking God if he was saved 
  Am    Amadd9   C      Csus2 F 
I never liked to see my daddy cry 
F                  G                 Am | Amadd9 | C | Csus2 | F 
I guess I'll never know how grandpa died 

             F                C 
And what I'd give to go there again 
                G                    Am 
Kiss my daddy's face, hold my mama's hand 
             F                    C 
Little did I know soon they would be 
                   G                   Am | Amadd9 | C | Csus2 | F 
Lying right beside her, gone away from me 
               Am | Amadd9 | C | Csus2 | F 
Gone away from me 

    Am     Amadd9 C     Csus2      F 
You barely even see the tombstones now 
    Am        Amadd9   C    Csus2     F 
The trees are grown up everywhere and no one keeps the grounds 
Am        Amadd9 C       Csus2     F 
Strangers live inside my childhood home 
F                         G              Am | Amadd9 | C | Csus2 | F 
And I can't believe that daddy's really gone 

             F                C 
And what I'd give to go there again 
                  G                     Am 
Kiss his withered face, hold her gentle hand 
                   F                  C 
But there ain't no way that will ever be 
                      G 
They lie beneath that old tree, 
                Am | Amadd9 | C | Csus2 | F 
Gone away from me (Gone away from me) 
                Am | Amadd9 | C | Csus2 | F 
Gone away from me 
                Am | Amadd9 | C | Csus2 | F 
Gone away from me (Gone away from me) 

     Am     Amadd9  C         Csus2   F 
Well I grew up in a town with one red light
