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
[Verse]
No wCork for the wAmorking man
Just Cone more empty Ammill
DmHard times in CRockingham
EmHard times haFrder still
The Ccrows are in the Amkitchen
The Cwolves at the dAmoor
Our Dmfathers' land of CEden is EmparadFise no more
[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
[Instrumental]
My sCister stayed in AmEden
Her Chusband's got somAme land
An Dmagent for the cCounty thinks that Emthey might Fmake a stand
A Chard life of Amworking
With Cnothing much to Amshow
A Dmlong life of Cleaving with EmnowheFre to go
[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
