[Verse 1]
C                                      G           C
I was born up on high ground where the cheat river winds
C                                        G
Many of my kin worked in the old coal mines
  F       C        G           Am
I grew up hunting, fishing and trapping
           F      G     C
By the headwaters of my life

[Verse 2]
C                         G        C
My number was called when I turned eighteen
C                                   G
For my dear Uncle Sam I became a marine
  F                C             G          Am
I fought two long years and gave all that I had
                    F          G               C
Lost my soul in Khe Sahn never thought I'd get back
 
F C
 
 
[Chorus]
C          F
To the headwaters
                       C
Where I'll raise a few daughters
       Am         G
With a girl of my dreams
       F       C
By the brookie stream
          Am          G
Keep my slack out the line
     F            C
This world will be fine
            F  G
Leaving me behind
G          C
At the headwaters

[Bridge]
     Em
I've traveled the world
Am
Near, far and wide
     F
Laid eyes on its wonders
                 C
But nowhere to reside
                       G
There ain't nowhere to hide
 
 
[Chorus]
             F
Like the headwaters
                       C
Where I'll raise a few daughters
       Am         G
With a girl of my dreams
      F             C
By the brookie stream
        Am            G
Keep my slack out the line
     F           C
This world'll be fine
              F  G
And leave me behind
           C
At the headwaters
 
 
[Outro]
          F  G
Leave me behind
           C
At the headwaters
