I Want To Go Back To The Mountains - Don Reno - Founding Father of Bluegrass Banjo Chords

_ [A] _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _
I said goodbye to the cabin of mine, [C] bid adieu to the [G] beautiful hills, [C]
the rivers and dales, the old [E] oaken [A] well will remain in my [D] memory still.
[G] But the call of nightlife, the cities and lights, [C]
calls me to long [B] to roam
[C] through the turmoil and [G] strife of this sinful [A] life away from my [G] mountain home. _
And I want to [C] go back [G] to the mountains _ _
and live the kind of life I [D] left behind. _ _
[G] I want to [C] go back [G] to the mountains _ _ and spend the [D] best days of [G] my time. _ _ _

_ [G] _ _ _ Beer taverns and whiskey, gambling and [C] dice, crime waves mean this [G] and hey,
[C] is all that I've [G] seen these years on the [A] scene and hard times and [D] troubles my fate.
[G] If I could get back to my cabin shack [C] and the dreams of love and [B] of home,
[C] I'll tell you one thing, the bluebirds would sing [D] and I never more [G] would roam. _ _
And I want [C] to go back to [G] the mountains _ _ and live the kind of life I left [D] behind. _ _ _
[G] And I want to [C] go back [G] to the mountains _ _ and spend [D] the best days [G] of my time. _ _
