Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Walk outside the house before the sun is up

 The ponies in town are sleeping but the Apples are not

 It's the beginning of another day

 Can't spend another minute on the hay

Grab something to eat then feed the pigs in their pen

 The noise they make keeps me company when

 I watch the moon make way in the sky

 For the elder princess' celestial charge

The freshness of the morning air remains with me

As I walk back to the orchard where todays work awaits

 Among the apple trees

 Bucking the days away with a smile upon my face

 Keeping alive the family ways

While big brother works the fields with the old plow

 Little sis and I help granny bake and I'm thinking about

 Racing through the whitetail woods last fall

 A blur of rainbow colors clouding it all

Walk into town to meet my friends

 We're having a party at the corner again

 And I wouldn't miss it for the world, no

 It's always magical when I'm with the girls

 The beautiful and tranquil night

 Descends upon me as I head back home

 And I just can't hold back a smile

 Not when I feel so fine

 Bucking the days away with a smile upon my face

 Keeping alive the family ways
