Post subject:  Album Guitar Chords-Other Voices, Too (A Trip Back To Bounti
A couple years ago, I decided to go through the catalog of Nanci songs and transcribe all of the ones that hadn't been done yet (well, that I couldn't find readily online). I thought I could post these and hopefully those with better ears can help with corrections. (sorry, can't get the spacing done right on the message board). Also, thanks due to Adam Schneider for all of his wonderful work transcribing the songs he did which started me on this quest.

WHO KNOWS WHERE THE TIME GOES

Before the winter's fire, I will still be dreamin'

I have no thought of time

For who knows where the time goes?

But I will still be here, I have no thought of leaving

I do not count the time

For who knows where the time goes?
E A F#m A E E Asus2 E Asus2
Who knows where the time goes?


E Asus2 E Asus2
And I am not alone, while my love is near

And I know it will be so until it's time to go
F#m G#m A G#m A
So count the storms of winter and then the birds in spring again
E
I have no fear of time

B A
For who knows how my love grows?
E A F#m A E E Asus2 E Asus2
And who knows where the time goes?

D G
And I started to wander
A G D G
Far from my home
D G A D G
And the time it passed quickly
G D G D
And the days seemed to be hours
D G
Far from your city
A G D G D
And Yarrington Town

D G
Well, I wandered through the midnights
A G D G
Of sea-bordered bar lights
D G
And I wandered through the forests
A G D G
As deep as the sea
D G A D G
But I never got lonesome
G D G D
Until i'd hear a sad song
D G
One to remind me
A G D G D
of Yarrington Town

D G A D
G D
D G A D

D G
Well, I followed a miner
A G D G
To his home in the North woods
D G
And he promised to love me
A G D G
As long as I'd stay
D G A D G
And I even saw lightning
G D G D
Touch a stone in the mine field
D G
Could not touch the lightning
A G D G D
In Yarrington Town




D G
So I packed up my suitcase
A G D G
I pulled out my old bedroll
D G
And I started to wander
A G D G
On back to my home
D G A D G
And the time it passed slowly
G D G D
And the days seemed to be years
D G
Far from your city
A G D G D
And Yarrington Town
D G
I'm going home to your city
A G D G D
And Yarrington Town

I STILL MISS SOMEONE

E

E A B
At my door the leaves are falling
A B E
The cold wild wind will come
E A B
Sweethearts walk by together
A B E
And I still miss someone

E A B
I go out on a party
A B E
To look for a little fun
E A B
But I find a darkened corner
A B E
Because I still miss someone

A B E
Oh, I never got over those blue eyes
A B E
I see them everywhere
A B E
I miss those arms that held me
A B E
When all the love was there

E A B
A B E

E A B
I wonder if she's sorry
A B E
For leaving what we'd begun
E A B
There's someone for me somewhere
A B E
But I still miss someone

A B E
Oh, I never got over those blue eyes
A B E
I see them everywhere
A B E
I miss those arms that held me
A B E
When all the love was there

E A B
At my door the leaves are falling
A B E
The cold wild wind will come
E A B
Sweethearts walk by together
A B E
And I still miss someone
A B E

And I still miss someone




TRY THE LOVE

A D E A

A E A
Before you marry, before you mend
E A E
Or have someone's children, long before then
D A E F#m B
You could find something with somebody new
A E D A
Try the love that I'm offering in my open arms
E A
Before you do


A E A
We should have quarreled, it's so unwise
E A E
To cut yourself loose with only some lies
D A E F#m B
Wasn't my first time, it won't be my last
A E D A
Try the love that took only a minute to grow
E A
It won't die that fast


E D A
Try the love that the keeper of the keys
D A
Told me one time was clearly not for me
E D D/C# D
He's not keepin' no more
E D A
It's the kind when held up to a flame
D A
Whispers one word, darlin' always your name
E A
Of this you can be sure

A E A
I have a home now, you should come back
E A E
It's got so much room that I can't unpack
D A E F#m B
This is my wish, dear, a now spoken truth
A E D A
Try the love that once hidden now seems so alive
E A
It's waiting on you


E D A
Try the love that the keeper of the keys
D A
Told me one time was clearly not for me
E D D/C# D
He's not keepin' no more
E D A
It's the kind when held up to a flame
D A
Whispers one word, darlin' always your name
E A
Of this you can be sure

A E D A
Try the love that once hidden now seems so alive
E A
It's waiting on you

A E D A
Try the love that once hidden now seems so alive
E A
It's waiting on you




THE STREETS OF BALTIMORE

G

G D C
I sold the farm to take my woman
G D C
Where she longed to be
D
We left our kin and all our friends
G
Back there in Tennessee
G D C
I bought the one way tickets
G D C
She had often begged me for
D G
And they took us to the streets of Baltimore

D
Well my heart was filled with laughter
G
When I saw those city lights
G
She said the prettiest place on earth
G D
Was Baltimore at night

G D C
Well, a man feels proud to give his woman
G C
What she's longing for
D G
And I kind of liked the streets of Baltimore

G C
I got myself a factory job
G C
I ran an old machine
D
We bought a little cottage
G
In a neighborhood serene
G C
But every night when i came home
G D C
With every muscle sore
D G
She would drag me through the streets of Baltimore

D
Well, I did my best to bring her back
G
To what she used to be
G
But, I soon learned she loved those bright lights
G D
Much more than she loves me

G D C
Now I'm goin' back on that same train
G C
That brought me here before
D G
While my baby walks the streets of Baltimore
G D C G
Yes, my baby walks the streets of Baltimore





DARCY FARROW
A cappella song key of A

Where the Walker runs down into the Carson Valley plain
There lived a young maiden Darcy Farrow was her name
The daughter of old Dundee and a fair one was she
The sweetest flower that bloomed o'er the range

She was courted by young Vandermeer
And quite handsome was he I am to hear
He brought her silver rings and lacy things
And they promised to marry before the snows came that year

But her pony did stumble and she did fall
Her dyin' touched the hearts of us, one and all
Young Vandy in his pain put a bullet in his brain
And we buried them together as the snows began to fall

They sing of Darcy Farrow where the Truckee runs through
They sing of her beauty in Virginia City too
At dusty sundown to her name they drink a round
And to young Vandy whose love was true

Where the Walker runs down into the Carson Valley plain
There lived a young maiden Darcy Farrow was her name
The daughter of old Dundee and a fair one was she
The sweetest flower that bloomed o'er the range
