Outside the Nashville city limits, a friend and I did drive,
ch]C[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
On a day in early winter, I was glad to be alive
ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]F[/ch
We went to see some friends of his, who lived upon a farm
ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]F[/ch
Strange and gentle country folk, who wished nobody harm
ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Fresh-cut sixty acres, eight cows in the barn
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch
But the thing that I remember, on that cold day in December
ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Was that my eyes they did brim over, as we talked
ch]C[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
In the slowest drawl I ever heard, the man said "Come with me
ch]C[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
If y'all wanna see the prettiest place in all of Tennessee."
ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]F[/ch
He poured us each a glass of wine and a-walking we did go,
ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]F[/ch
Along fallen leaves and crackling ice, where a tiny brook did flow
ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
He knew every inch of the land, and Lord he loved it so
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch
But the thing that I remember, on that cold day in December
ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Was that my eyes were brimming over, as we walked
ch]C[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
He sat my down upon a stone, beside a running spring
ch]C[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
He talked in a voice so soft and clear, like the waters I heard sing
ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]F[/ch
He said "We searched quite a time for a place to call our own.
ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]F[/ch
There was just me and Mary John and now I guess we're home."
ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
I looked at the ground and wondered, how many years they each had roamed
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch
And Lord I do remember, on that day in late December
ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
How my eyes kept brimming over, as we talked

As we walked
ch]D[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch
And standing there with outstretched arms, he said to me "You know,
ch]D[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch
I can't wait till the heavy storms cover the ground with snow,
ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
And there on the pond the watercress is all that don't turn white.
ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
When the sun is high you squint your eyes and look at the hills so bright."
ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
And nodding his head my friend said, "It seems like overnight,
ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]Gbm[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Gbm[/ch
That the leaves come out so tender at the turning of the winter..."
ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
I thought the skies they would brim over, as we talked
