Livin’ In The Chippewa Valley                  by Phil Circle

 

Was (G) waked up this morning by birds out my window

At an (C) hour I’d consider (D) insane

But the (G) spring is a fever         If I ever leave here

I (C) know I’ll miss the friends that I’ve (D) made

(G) Brewed up some coffee                  Fried me some eggs

(C) Took a walk down Route 93 (D)

The (G) rain stopped                  (C) Sun came out

(G) Suddenly more (D) clearly I (G) see

 

(Chorus)

We got (G) music          (C) Cheap ass beer

(G) Strangers that wave as they (D) pass

Got (G) rolling hills of (C) Birch and Pine

(G) Glad I finally came here at (D) last

Whatever (G) road I ride         (C) Wherever I go

(G) However many cities I (D) tally

I’ll (G) never forget these (C) good ole days

(G) Livin’ in The (D) Chippewa (G) Valley

 

Where (G) I come from         Folks are loud

They (C) drink as hard as we do (D) here

They got (G) great blues         Expensive shoes

(C) People come from far and (D) near

But (G) I had enough                  Of all that stuff

Of a (C) backyard of cement and (D) weeds

So (G) me and my lady said                  Let’s (C) go away baby

(G) Follow the (D) road where it (G) leads

 

(Chorus)

 

Looked at (G) Albuquerque, Austin and NOLA

Spent (C) time in the deep Southern (D) heat

(G) Ended up here where the rivers run clear

To (C) what kinda people we’d (D) meet

I was (G) just a city boy         Working to buy all my toys

(C) I still miss my old (D) home

But (G) I found a new one

And (C) I’m staying here son

(G) Until I feel a (D) new need to (G) roam                  (Chorus, 2^nd half of chorus)
