Back _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] in the mountains [Bb] of eastern Kentucky, [F] a young boy [Dm] grew up with [C] a dream of _ _ [F] playing
[Dm] the oboe [Bb] like all of his heroes.
[F] By the time [Dm] that he learned how [C] to walk he [F] could _ sing. _
_ Blessed [Dm] with the voice of [Bb] a wild _ _ songbird, [F] quick with [Dm] the kind word [C] and smile. _ _ _
[F] His songs [Dm] about heartache, [Bb] hard living, and true love [F] came right from [Dm] the pages [C] of life's [F] lonely _ mind.
_ [Dm] [C] And his voice rang true [Bb] as his legend grew.
[F] He was destined [Dm] to shine like [C] a star.
_ _ [Am] _ [C] But he never _ forgot [F] [Bb] who that he was, [F] or the friends that [Dm] he made with [C] his old [F] guitar. _ _ _
_ He [Dm] wasn't a stranger [Bb] to the rain or its danger, _ [F] found on [Dm] the highways [C] of life. _ _
[Gm] [F] Too soon it [Dm] was over, [Bb] the road it had ended, [F] and all that [Dm] we heard [C] was the sound of [F] the goodbye.
_ _ _ Somewhere in [Dm] the mountains [Bb] of eastern Kentucky, [F] a young boy [Dm] is dreaming _ [C] tonight _ _ _ [F] of playing
[Dm] the oboe [Bb] like his fallen heroes, [F] who's gone [Dm] on to sing with [C] the angels [F] on high. _ _
[Dm] [C] And the voice still rings true [Bb] from the man that we knew, [F] for all his grieving [Dm] we can't [C] understand.
_ _ _ [Am]
[C] And the new star shines [G] bright [F] [Bb] in the heavens tonight, _ [F] now that [Dm] he's part of [C] that great _ angel _ band.
