Come Away With Me

Capo 3rd fret


  A                                      D                A
I close the door on father's house while I was still a boy.
                             Bm                 E
I sailed with Agamemnon to besiege the walls of Troy.
               D  E                     A
Come away with me, where the long grass grows.
               D  E               A
Come away with me, where Missouri flows.

I dreamed of baby Moses adrift upon the Nile,
Till Pharaoh's daughter found him, saying, "Stay with me a while."
Come away with me, where the long grass grows.
Come away with me, where Missouri flows.

I came down Shenandoah with the wood smoke in the trees.
I caught the scent of Balsam and it brought me to my knees.
Come away with me, where the long grass grows.
Come away with me, where Missouri flows.

I sailed beneath Orion where the long ships dared to go.
I laid my fire of mesquite wood by the creeks of the Navajo.
Come away with me, where the long grass grows.
Come away with me, where Missouri flows.

Now if God himself is walking out across these sweeping plains,
He brings the racing fires and he brings the soothing rains.
Come away with me, where the long grass grows.
Come away with me, where Missouri flows.

Oh, I close the door on father's house while I was still a boy.
I Sailed with Agamemnon to besiege the walls of Troy.
Come away with me, where the long grass grows.
Come away with me, where Missouri flows.
Come away with me, where the long grass grows.
Come away with me, where Missouri flows.
