For those of you who [C] don't know, just quickly tell you that the list, my record, the list is based on an actual list of [Db] 100 essential [Bb] country songs
that [G] my dad gave me when I was 18 years old and thank God I'm a pack rat and I saved this list all [D] these [Bm] years.
And it never [E] occurred to me to make a [F] record based on the list until I've lost [G] my parents.
It's a paradox that you don't think about what your parents have left [Fm] you until they're not on the planet [Am] anymore.
[Fm] And this [C] list [Bb] [A] has taken on [C] deep [A] emotional resonance in my life.
[C] It's beyond just a list of music that my dad gave me.
It's like passing on [Ab] DNA.
It's as if you were a martial arts secret and this is [Am] the secret he gave to his oldest [F] child.
[G] So everybody wants me to show [C] the list and post it on the internet and no, not [F] for quite a while.
[Am]
But [Fm] anyway, these are 12 [Am] songs from the list and
[A] this is one of the newer songs [Am] on the list,
a [Ab] song by Bob Dylan that my dad [E] recorded [G] with Bob [C] in 1969 [A] on Nashville Skyline.

[Am]
If you're traveling [F] in the North Country [C] fair,
[Am] wind heavy [F] on the borderline, [C]
[Am]
remember me.
[F]
[C]
She [Am] once [G] was [F] true [C] love of mine.
[Am]
If you [C] go when [F] the [C] snowflakes don't fall,
[Am] Rivers freeze, [F] summer [C] ends, [A] [Am]
these here she [G] has [F] sung.
[C]
[Am] Keep her from [F] howling.

[Dm] [Am] I'm wondering if [F] she remembers [C] me at all.
[G] [Am]

[A] [C]
In [Am] the [C] darkness, [F] love my [C] day.
[G] [Am]
In the brightness, [F]
love my [C] day.
