F Dm Another autumn night it's getting chilly F Dm Birds are gathering round getting ready F Dm The Moon and the sun are both so heavy G Barely off the ground Am A# He's turning the wheels of his daddy's plow Am A# Sowing the land that's been handed down Gm C F Singing a song from a book that's faded brown Mary she's on the step, she's waiting Hair is like a light from heaven The family comes together now, believe in what they found Grace is said at the table round a prayer before they settle down Side by side in a book that's faded brown Chorus: A# C Dm Have you ever wondered why? A# C Dm There's a rainbow in the sky? A# C It's all the tears Dm G That God has been crying G And it leaves the world And it leaves the world C With a rainbow for a crown Those that said, said they're the outsiders Are only easy riders on a horse that's going lame For the way of the world is upside down They can all hold handswhen they walk through town Side by side with a book that's faded brown Chorus By the way have I told you already That his parents were buried by a tree that they loved The way of the world is upside down Even the flowers stood without a sound Pressed together in a book that's faded Pressed together in a book that's faded Pressed together in a book that's faded brown Bound together in a book that's faded brown You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm  A#  C  Dm  F  G  Gm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
