[F#] [B]
[E]
When I was young and in [B] my prime I left my home in [E] Carolina
And now all I do is [B] sit and pine For all the folks I [E] left behind
I'm got them Blue Ridge [G#m] Mountains
[B] And I stand right [E] here and say
My grip is packed to travel I'll [F#m] be scratchin' gravel
[B] For that Blue Ridge [E] far away
[C#m] I [B]
[E]
[B]
[E]
can see two heads of snowy [B] white And in their window [E] there's a light
It seems I can hear them both [B] recite Oh, where is our wonderin' [E] boy tonight?
I'm got them Blue Ridge Mountains [B]
And I stand right [E] here and say
My grip is packed to travel [F#m] I'll be scratchin' gravel
[B] For that Blue Ridge far [E] away
[C#m] I'm [E] [B]
[E]
[B]
[C#] [E]
gonna do right by [B] my walk And I'm gonna [D#] do right by [E] my talk
I want to hang around [G#m] that cabin door [B] With no work or worries [E] anymore
I'm got them Blue Ridge Mountains [F#m] [B] And I stand right [E] here and say
My grip is packed to travel I'll be [F#m]
scratchin' gravel
[B] For that Blue Ridge far [E] away
