  Heartstrings by Alison Krauss

  written by Marshall Wilborn

  Album:  Every Time You Say Goodbye

  Transcribed by Bruce DeBoard (deboard@pa.uky.edu)

  

  This song is played with a capo on the second fret I believe,

  although it is by no means a must.  Play it in whatever key

  you like.  However, the chords below are more shapes if you put

  a capo on.  What I have below is for without a capo.  I play it

  with the capo on the second fret, but I still play a G shape, or

  a D shape, you get it.

  

  Also, the G and Em I have in mind here are not standard G and Em,

  although you can use those if you want.  I use these:

  

     EADGBE

  G  xx5433 (this is from open, whether it be headstock or capo)

  Em xx2000 (same as above)

  

  I do use the standard G if I am going to go to the chorus

  directly after, so I can walk up to the C, but most other places

  I do not.  You can do whatever you want. 

  

  [Verse 1]

  

  G      D                Em   D

  Way up north, where the snow flies

          C         D      G      D

  and the sun don't hardly shine

        G      D    Em      D

  If it weren't for, my true love

           C                D

  I'd have long ago lost my mind

           D                G      D   

  I'd have long ago lost my mind

  

  [Verse 2]

  

  There's good folks here and good folks there

  most everywhere I go

  But the land of my heart is down

  where the snow white cotton grows

  where the snow white cotton grows

  

  [chorus]

           C          Bm            Am      G

  When the river runs over from the melting snow

          C           D      G

  we will take to the higher ground

           C          Bm                Am         G     

  when the water goes down again, we'll saddle our old paint

  C        D        G

  we'll be homeward bound

         C       Bm      D        G

  me and my love will be homeward bound

  

  [solo]  play verse

  

  [verse 3]

  Heartstrings hold tighter than the roots of a live oak tree

  holding through tornado wind

  tougher than timber, stronger than steel

  they'll guide me back southward again

  they'll guide me back southward again

  

  [repeat chorus]

  Thanks to Ellen S. for correction to lyrics "Saddle our old paint" instead

  of "Settle our own pain"
