Unwed Fathers(Chords)

	        
          G                  C         G       C  
         In an Appalachian, Greyhound station  
                        G        D           G  
         She sits there waiting, in a family way  

                           C          G         C  
         'Goodbye brother, Tell Mom I love her'  
                       G       D              G  
         'Tell all the others, I'll write someday'  

        
                G               C                  G  
         From an teenage lover, to an unwed mother  
                                         D  
         kept undercovers, like some bad dream  
                     G        C             G        C  
         While unwed fathers, they can't be bothered  
                       G      D                  G  
         They run like water, through a mountain stream 
 
        
         G                        C             G          C  
         In a cold and grey town, a nurse say's 'Lay down'  
                        G            D             G  
         'This ain't no playground, and this ain't home'  
                            C          G       C  
         Someones children, out having children  
                         G          D     G  
         in a grey stone building, all al-one  

         (Chorus)  

         G                      C               G         C  
         Some where else bound, Smokey Mountain Greyhound  
                      G          D            G  
         She bows her head down, humming lullabys  
                            C                 G     C  
         'Your daddy never, meant to hurt you ever'  
                        G          D                 G  
         'he just don't live here, but you've got his eyes'  

         (Chorus)
