Вступление
[Verse]
A D A
I was born in the shadow of a Tennessee mountain
E
In a slower and gentler time
D A
In a cabin my grandfather built with his hands
A E A
Out of hickory walnut and pine
A D A
We hunted those hills, my daddy and I
E
So far from the bustle of town
D A
But I'd soon see a whole way of life start to fade
A E
As the mines all began to shut down
A D A
Heard saws on the mountain, saw the trucks rumble by
E
Filing past like a funeral line
D A
Those big iron trailers were piled up high
A E A
With Hickory, Walnut and Pine
[Chorus]
D A
Call it progress or a shame, well you can't stop a train
E
As it's barrelin' on down the line
D A
They'll cut down the trees and name your new streets
A E A
Hickory, Walnut and Pine
[Verse]
A D A
Now the mountain top's flattened, the hickory's gone
E
And the streams run black as a curse
D A
My father's been out in the barn more and more
A E
Since the mining went bad and then worse
A D A
Well I heard his old saw, I heard his old plane
E
I heard his cough worsen with time
D A
Now I stand where he lays in a box that he made
A E A
Out of hickory, walnut and pine
A D A
My children have left, for the big city jobs
E
I'll remain, my fate to unwind
D A
And I'll dream of the days when the wind called my name
A E A
Through hickory, walnut and pine
[Chorus]
D A
Call it progress or a shame, well you can't stop a train
E
And you can't stop the marching of time
D A
They'll cut down the trees and name your new streets
A E A
Hickory, Walnut and Pine
