[Bm] [A]
Go rolling hills, [Bm] summer peat bog, call out your name.
[A] Hot to pasture in the sweet ash refrain.
And I pulled [D] in a white [Bm] cross, and got to askin' around town.
[A] In hopes that I could see you again.
[Bm] You had gone up to the mountains, [A] higher ground to make a [D] stand.
Perched [A] upon a ledge [Bm] with a rifle in your hand.
[A] Singing, I don't need no man.
You miss all those days gone [D] by, and long for [A] those better times.
I wish I could ease your mind, like the wind.
Blowing wild through the lonely pine.

One hundred tick, [Bm] it felt like nothing, on an August day.
Down [A] to the hog to wash it all away.
Hear the holler of [Bm] the ten coin, white tail collar.
[A] Circle left and promenade.
[Bm] Cicadas in the [A] summertime, and cider in the fall.
If I can't have the girl [D] I love, then I won't love at [Bm]
all.
[A] And I'll catch my own damn self when I fall.
