Wayside Back In Time

cover: Gillian Welch Song
DGB guitar

Wayside Back In Time

[C] Standing on a corner with a nickel or a [F] dime
There use to be a [C] rail car to take you down the [Am] line.

[C] Too much beer and whiskey to ever be em- [F] ployed
And when I got to [C] Nashville, too much soldiers [Am] joy.

CHORUS: [C] Back, baby, back in [F] time.
Take me [C] back to when you were [Am] mine.

[C] Wasted on the wayside, Wasted on the [F] way
If I ain't gone to [C] morrow, You know I'm gone to [Am] day.
CHORUS

[C] Peaches in the summertime, apples in the [F] fall
If I can't have you [C] all the time, I don't want none at [Am] all.
CHORUS

I [C] wish I was in Frisco in a brand new pair of [F]shoes
Here I am in [C] Nashville with the Nashville [Am] blues.
CHORUS

[C] Come all you good time rounders listening to my [F] sound
And drink a round to [C] Nashville, before they tear it [Am] down.
CHORUS

Comment by Dave Lynas on March 13, 2016 at 3:39pm: Ya Unc. It's that vibrato.

Comment by James O Lunsford on March 13, 2016 at 2:33pm: Very good one Uncle John like the back ground perfect for the song

Comment by Dave Lynas on March 13, 2016 at 2:17pm: Wow Uncle. Nice song and setting. Good on you!

Comment by Uncle John on March 13, 2016 at 1:14pm: Thanks for the kind words, Jim. :)

Comment by Jim Morris on March 13, 2016 at 1:01pm: Fantastic!! Good version of this and a wonderful setting for it. This might be my favorite so far of the covers you've done.

Comment by Uncle John on March 13, 2016 at 12:53pm: Standing by a railroad bridge over Mosquito Creek. Wind noise and water noise.

I love Gillian Welch's music. This is a fave of hers for me. I did it in a way that I can sing and play it with my meager playing skills and my mush mouth. Lonely song. Lonely place.
