[N] The first place Taffy and I [Am] had together in Georgetown was right up here.
This is the house over here.
Actually, we didn't have the [C] whole house.
We just lived in the [A] basement apartment,
which flooded [Am] every time it rained.
But it [C] was a neat house, a neat place to live.
A lot of neat stuff came out of here.
[Ab] We had Saul and Helen down the [Bb] street helping.
[Db] They would charge us food, actually.
They kept us [A] alive.
And we did a lot of writing here.
Matter of fact, one time we were at the cellar door doing a concert,
and we [Ab] finished the show and ended up with Take Me Home, Country Roads.
And a lady [Bb] came up to me after the show and said,
[C]
Gee, my husband and I were on a trip [A] a couple of days ago,
[Bbm] and I know the [Ab] exact spot where y'all wrote Take Me Home, Country Roads.
There were the Blue Ridge [B] Mountains, and there was the [Bb] Shenandoah River,
and [B] there was West Virginia, and [A] it was almost heaven.
And I didn't have the heart to tell her that it was [Ab] right [A] in this basement apartment where [Ab] we wrote it.
