Sweet Guinevere
(Gordon Lightfoot)
Waltz
[C]Sweet Guinevere you're [F]off to the [C]coal town to[G]night
And your [F]young brother [C]Ernie's up in Pittsburgh [G]PA
You [C]know mother [F]loves you, and [C]dad's in the [G]mine
So [F]don't go to the [G]coal town, Guinevere, if you're [C]kind
[C]She loves a young [F]man and he [C]lives in the [G]town
And he [F]leaves the house [C]early for he [F]works under[G]ground
He [C]makes a good [F]wage for a [C]coal miners [G]son
And [F]shes a bit [G]pretty, just turned twenty-[C]one
[C]Sweet Guinevere you're [F]off to the [C]coal town to[G]night
And your [F]young brother [C]Ernie's up in Pittsburgh [G]PA
You [C]know mother [F]loves you, and [C]dad's in the [G]mine
So [F]don't go to the [G]coal town, Guinevere, shut the [C]blind
[C]She knows her good [F]mother's not [C]feelin no [G]pain
She [F]remembers an [C]explosion and the black falling [G]rain
She [C]paints her thin [F]lips in her [C]dewy-eyed [G]way
Then she [F]says to the [G]daughter, dear daughter I [C]pray
[C]Sweet Guinevere you're [F]off to the [C]coal town to[G]night
And your [F]young brother [C]Ernie's up in Pittsburgh [G]PA
You [C]know mother [F]loves you, and [C]dad's in the [G]mine
So [F]don't go to the [G]coal town, Guinevere, if you're [C]kind
