Falls of Rough

Band:Cast Iron Filter Capo 1: E My name is Willis Grey And I'm an honest man A E Ten years I've been mayor of this town E My daddy passed away Back in 1893 A E I been runnin the farm since we put him in the ground B I say the prayers E Over his head B A And the last thing that he said E A "Remember son, B A You can be the one E B E Who can lead this town through the rain." I been here all my life Fell in love Jenna White I got married and had our daughter Mary Lou And then I lost my bride In the flood of '35 Did my best but there was nothing I could do And this old world Does it's will I swear at times I hear her still "Don't cry But don't say goodbye For I'll keep you safe from the rain." Yes my name is Willis Grey And my name will die with me Lord knows I've put my heart to this town And its seems that every spring By the dozen people leave Ever since that blessed market bottomed out And these might be My dying days But if you believe Hear what I say Yes it might be tough But if we're strong enough We can save these falls of rough
