I've only found this song on YouTube, she hasn't released it on an album yet.
Still, it's a great song, and pretty simple to play. She plays it on banjo,
but the chords translate for guitar.
Capo 1
[Intro]
G - C x2
[Verse 1]
G
Too young, too thoughtless," I said to myself
C
with idealistic visions all perched on the shelf
D C
'cause I'm still hoping, waiting for you to come home.
G
May your snow capped mountains carry you far.
C
May they stand as protectors wherever you are.
D C
May you stay safe and happy all of your days.
[Chorus]
G
Oh James
C
Oh James
[Verse 2]
G
Maybe you're in love or hung up on another
C
And maybe you found a far prettier lover
D C
And maybe you'll paint her a picture like you did for me
G
You color your world with that Neverland smile
C
but it goes dark in pieces every once in a while
D C
and on my birthday I told you, "Dont worry, there'll be other days."
[Chorus]
G
Oh James
C
Oh James
x2
[Bridge]
G
Oooooooooo-ooooh-ooh
C
Oooooooooo-ooooh-ooh
Emi
Oooooooooo-ooooh-ooh
C
Oooooooooo-ooooh-ooh oooh
x 2
[Verse 3]
G
And I'll always be happy if you choose to call
C
or write me a letter saying all that you saw and
D C
how things have changed since our days there on Noxontown Pond
G
No don't be a stranger, no don't go too far
C
and though you love places that have lots of stars
D C
just know in the city, you'll always have a place to stay
[Final Chorus]
G
Oh James
C
Oh James
x2
G
Oh James (Oooooooooo-ooooh-ooh)
C
Oh James (Oooooooooo-ooooh-ooh)
Emi
Oh James (Oooooooooo-ooooh-ooh)
C
Oh James (Oooooooooo-ooooh-ooh)
x2
[Outro]
(ritardando)
G
Oooooooooo-ooooh-ooh
C
Oooooooooo-ooooh-ooh
Emi
Oooooooooo-ooooh-ooh
C
Oooh
That's all, let me know about any corrections! Enjoy!
