My brother where do you intend to go tonight?
   Em7             A         Em7            A
I heard that you missed your connecting flight,

To the Blue Ridge Mountains, over near Tennessee

[Chorus]
         Cmaj7                     D
In the quivering forest, where the shivering dog rests
     Am7                       G
Our good grandfather, built a wooden nest
        Cmaj7                      D
And the river got frozen, and the home got snowed in
        Am7                                  G
And the yellow moon glowed bright, till the morning light
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
Am7           Bm     Am7                 Bm
Terrible am I child? Even if you don't mind
 
 
[Chorus]
        Cmaj7                       D
In the quivering forest, where the shivering dog rests
     Am7                       G
Our good grandfather, built a wooden nest
        Cmaj7                      D
And the river got frozen, and the home got snowed in
         Am7                                 G
And the yellow moon glowed bright, till the morning light
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
Am7            Bm     Am7              Bm    Am7    Bm
Terrible am I child? Even if you don't mind, no

In the intro: Play the Em7 like 020003 Play the A6 like x04222 Play the Em like 022000 Marvellous tab! I don't like to retune my guitar, so I love it when the tab is in standard tuning.

I love when I've been listening to a song for years, I look it up on UG, and it plays spot on with the first try. especially a moderately complex chord pattern like this one. kudos
