about

Written about my Great Aunt Claire Taylor, a successful film and radio actor. She married for the first time at age 16 during the Great Depression and her new husband Jack moved them to a remote logging camp where he found a job. She had to postpone her dream of acting during this time where she was living in a small log cabin and defending the camp from intruding bears. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claire_Drainie_Taylor

THE WOODS – by Patrick Spencer

G D C
G D G

(Female)
G D C (2 bars)
Jack take me back into town
G D Em C
Jack take me back into town
Em C G D (4 br)
Its cold and I'm lonely when you're not around
Em D C (4 bars)
Jack take me back into town

(Male)
I wake up alone in the night
the moon and the stars are so bright
away from the buildings and boulevard lights
the moon and the stars are so bright

(Female)
These woods are getting me down
There's no one to notice my pretty new gown
But the big, black bear that's been hanging around
Em D C (2 bars)
These woods are getting me down
G D G

(BRIDGE)

(MALE)
Am D
The Woods are a wonderful thing
G G/F# Em
I’ve seen you watching the axe that I swing
Am D
Wont you wait for the spring
G B
All of a sudden, the birds start to sing
C Cm
Don’t you want them to sing?

(Intrumental)
G D C (2 bars)
G D Em C
Em C G D (4 bars)
Em D C (4 bars)

(Female)
I don't want to leave you behind
(male)
I love you so dear and our cottage is fine
(Both)
This is not the honeymoon I had in mind
(female)
I don't want to leave you behind

(Female)
Jack take me back into town
Jack take me back into town
Its cold and I'm lonely when you're not around
Em D C
Jack take me back into town
Em D C
Jack take me back into town

Founded by Patrick Spencer in 2012, CwRoad gives folk music a reason to dance. Waltzing between love songs and foot-stomping murder ballads, there's a story for everyone. Their style reaches across Folk, Americana, Rock, and Country; like Don McLean sitting in with the Lumineers. Coldwater Road is a five-piece folk/rock group with rich harmonies and driving rhythm. ... more
