Where The Red Fern Grows Cifras

Note:
 * is a riff he plays off of a D chord, where you hammer on your pinky
finger to the e string of the d formation to the third fret,  and pick the third 2nd, open,
then hit the third fret of the b string, and hit an em afterward.
and finally the open e.
 
Capo on II
 
[Verse 1]
N.C.     Em                                          D                       Em
Well, towards the border of the northeast corner of Oklahoma lives a native girl
  Em                                  D                                      D *
Spends her days in Delaware County but she wants to see the oceans for the pearl
  Em                          D                                  Em
Never had two nickels to rub together, all she knew was how to work
 Em                                          D                                Em
So she's singin' for some change in a guitar case to pull herself out of the dirt
 
 
[Chorus]
 Em         C                      Em
She sings I love this place but it ain't my home
 G                             D
I belong where people hear my songs and sing along
        C                  Em
And I hate to lеave but I've got to go
G                                   D*                          Em
I was meant for morе than missin' cowboys where the red fern grows
 
 
[Verse 2]
 Em                                        D                             Em
Pretty soon those dreams that she'd been dreamin' didn't seem so out of reach
                                            D                             Em
So she switched from change and checks to playin' shows, word out on the street
  Em                              D                                  Em
Met a drummer in a red dirt band, Tahlequah who swore he'd make her shine
  Em                         D*                                      Em
So she ran off to the city, left the boy she loved and her family behind
 
 
[Chorus]
 Em         C                      Em
She sings I love this place but it ain't my home
 G                             D
I belong where people hear my songs and sing along
        C                  Em
And I hate to lеave but I've got to go
G                                   D*                          Em
I was meant for morе than missin' cowboys where the red fern grows
 
 
[Verse 3]
 Am                                 Em
Days turn into months and all the months turn into years
  G                            D
Streets turn to stadiums and silence turns to cheers
  Am                                     Em
Them Oklahoma hills ain't ever stopped cryin' out her name
   C                                   D
If you listen close you can hear her sing
 
 
[Chorus]
 Em         C                      Em
She sings I love this place but it ain't my home
 G                             D
I belong where people hear my songs and sing along
        C                  Em
And I hate to lеave but I've got to go
G                                   D*                          Em
I was meant for morе than missin' cowboys where the red fern grows
 
 
[Outro]
   Em                                           D                     Em
Towards the border of the northeast corner of Oklahoma lives a native girl
