Tuning:
There is an excellent version of this song with the capo on the 5th fret that is just like the recording and videos. This version below is ok if you don't have a capo and want to sing in a lower key. Carolina Chocolate Drops Leaving Eden [Intro] C Am (2x) [Verse]
CHush now, don't youAm wake up We'll be leCaving at first Amlight Mama's buDmying you a moCckingbird To Emlull you thrFough the night
We'll Ccross the Dan by Ammorning Here's a Cblanket for you to Amshare They're Dmbuilding down in CGeorgia Daddy Emhears he'll fFind work there
[Chorus]
And the Dmmockingbird can't Csing Like the Emcrying of a dFove And DmI can't tell my dCaughters All the Amthings that I'm scared of But FI am not aCfraid of that bright Emglory up aFbove DmDying's just aCnother way to Emleave the Fones you love
