ANYMORE FOR ANYMORE

( Lane & Lambert)

 

LYRICS

 

Hey, won't you come on with me
I hear the neighbor's dogs is barkin'
And soon the country all around him
Will come to look the same
There's a place from where they came

 

Bring out your goods and chattels
And all your treasures that can travel
I'll fix the wheel and oil the axles
To see another day
We're leaving come what may

 

Anymore for anymore
Hear those angels cry
But it's not his to sell to me
And it's not mine to buy

 

Hey, won't you come on with me
I hear the mister's voice is callin'
And soon the country all around me
Will come to look the same
There's a place from where I came

 

Anymore for anymore
Hear those angels say
But anymore's too much for me
I'm goin' on my way

 

Pile up the chairs and the table
And put the tinder to the timber
We'll light the night sky
Leave the ember
To fade with yesterday
We're leaving come what may

Another way to play this is to use a capo at the fifth fret and play using a "G" voicing. The progression would then "look " like G D C for the verse and C D G C for the chorus. This is an easy way to get a kind of Mandolin quality on an acoustic guitar which works nicely for this tune.
