“Beneath that Blue Ridge Sky” By: Ray Maternick, 28 Apr 2016 [Verse 1] Am F Another springtime journey to that courthouse in Louisa G D Am Hoping that his freedom would be in the cards this year Am F 900 days behind the walls of an asylum in the Blue Ridge? G D Am To overcome the shadows, the anxiety, and the fears. [Verse 2] Am F Three men in orange jumpsuits sitting in the gallery G D Am Staring at the faces of their loved one in the crowd Am F Our lawyer said our son was on his way and not to worry G D Am He’s first up on the docket, don’t let this get you down [Chorus] G D F C Robins sing their morning song outside that courtroom in Louisa G D F C He shuffled in with shackled feet and held his head up high G D F C Knowing they might say he needs more time to get better G D F Am Another year behind the walls beneath that Blue Ridge sky. [Verse 3] Am F He finally came through the door, a sheriff on each side G D Am Hands were cuffed together, the sound of shackles shuffled by Am F He sat down on that courtroom chair hoping he wouldn’t hear G D Am The Judge say that he’d be free to walk beneath that sun filled sky [Verse 4] Am F All rise for Judge Saner the Sargent at Arms said G D Am Minutes seemed like hours we waited anxiously to hear Am F He finally looked up and said “I see you made some progress G D Am Your commitment is extended for review again next year [Chorus] G D F C Robins sing their morning song outside that courtroom in Louisa G D F C He shuffled in with shackled feet and held his head up high G D F C Knowing they might say he needs more time to get better G D F Am Another year behind the walls beneath that Blue Ridge sky. [Verse 5] Am F Acknowledging the judges call with a nod and a “Yes Sir” G D Am He walked past us towards the door our eyes followed with a sigh Am F Before he walked out of the door he turned to us and said G D Am Don’t worry bout me behind those walls beneath this Blue Ridge Sky [Verse 6] Am F We walked across the street for some breakfast at Floozie’s G D Am We sat down at the table and shed a couple of tears Am F The waitress came up and asked us what we’ed be havin G D Am Just brings us both the same thing we had here last year. [Chorus] G D F C Robins sing their morning song outside that courtroom in Louisa G D F C They drove him back with shackled feet he still held his head up high G D F C They told him that he needs more time to get better G D F Am Another year behind the walls beneath that Blue Ridge sky.
