Kate Wolf - Old Jerome
th Fret
Intro: C
Drinking early morning coffee
F
Talking with good friends
C G7
And walking the streets of rough-cut stone
C
She was once a miner's city
F C
Now the ghost of a dying town, but there's a fire
G7 C
Burning bright in old Jerome
Am Em
Some have come for fortune, some have come for love
F C G7
And some have come for the things they cannot see
C
Now the grass is green and growing
F C
Where the gardens once had died and the birds sing
G7 C G7 C
In the young Ailanthus trees
And they say that once you live here
F
You'll never really go
C G7
'Cause she'll have a hold on you until you die
C
With her ground moving crazy
F C
Her fierce wind blowing free and her ruins
G7 C
Standing proud against the sky
Am Em
Houses cling to mountains like miners cling to dreams
F C G7
They hold on so long and then they just let go
C
And this mountain she's your mistress
F C
You'll ride her 'til you fall and wash down
G7 C
To the valley far below
Chorus:
