[C#] [C]
[A#] [G#] [C#] [F#] [C#]
There's a happy child at home, in my memory I can see,
Standing out upon the hill, in the shadow [G#] [D#] [G#] of the tree.
If I only [C#] had my way, it would give my heart a thrill,
Just to simply wander back, [G#] to the cabin on [C#] the hill.
[F#] [C#]
[A#] [C#] Oh, I want to wander back, to the cabin on the hill,
Neath the shadow of the tree.
I would like to linger still, just to be with those I [E] [C#m] love.
Oh, the joy my [C] heart will hold, [C#] the joy my heart will all fulfill,
[A#] And I want to wander back, to the [G#] cabin on the hill.
[C#]
[Am] [A#] [G#] [C#]
[F#] [C#] But [A#m] the saddest [C#] of it all, I can never, I can never more return,
To that happy child at home, [Fm] matters not how [G#] much I yearn.
If I only [C#] had my way, it would give my heart a thrill,
Just to simply wander back, to the cabin on the hill.
[F#] [C#]
Oh, I want to wander back, to the cabin on the hill,
Neath [A#m] the shadow of the tree.
I would like to [G#m] linger still, [D#] [G#] just to be with [C#m] those I [C#] love.
Oh, the joy [D#m] my heart will hold, [C#] the joy my heart will all fulfill,
And I want to wander back, to the cabin on the hill.
[F#] [C#] [A#]
