John Prine - Unwed Fathers Chords

[Opening]
[G]In an Appalachian, [C]Greyhound [G]station [C]
She sits there [G]waiting, [D]in a family [G]way
‘Goodbye brother, [C]Tell Mom I [G]love her’ [C]
‘Tell all the [G]others, [D]I’ll write some[G]day’

[chorus]
[G]From an teenage [C]lover, to an unwed [G]mother
kept undercover, like some bad [D]dream
While unwed [G]fathers, [C]they can’t be [G]bothered [C]
They run like [G]water, [D]through a mountain [G]stream

[verse 2]
[G]In a cold and grey town, [C]a nurse says [G]‘Lay down’ [C]
‘This ain’t no [G]playground, [D]and this ain’t [G]home’
Someones children, [C]out having [G]children [C]
in a grey stone [G]building, [D]all a[G]lone

[chorus]
[G]From an teenage [C]lover, to an unwed [G]mother
kept undercover, like some bad [D]dream
While unwed [G]fathers, [C]they can’t be [G]bothered [C]
They run like [G]water, [D]through a mountain [G]stream

[Closing]
[G]Some where else bound, [C]Smokey Mountain [G]Greyhound [C]
She bows her [G]head down, [D]humming lulla[G]bies
‘Your daddy never, [C]meant to hurt you [G]ever’ [C]
‘he just don’t [G]live here, [D]but you’ve got his[G]eyes’

[chorus]
[G]From an teenage [C]lover, to an unwed [G]mother
kept undercover, like some bad [D]dream
While unwed [G]fathers, [C]they can’t be [G]bothered [C]
They run like [G]water, [D]through a mountain [G]stream
