G F
It's a lonesome road and a hard way to live
C G
But it's the only life that I know
F
I meet some people a-travelin' around
C G
But home's always the best place to go
F C G
And there's a lonseome feeling in my mind
F C G
A feeling that I can't leave behind
F C G Em
Carolina's where I'm at and I'll always hang my hat

Under those Blue Ridge Mountain skies

Well I got me a woman back home

A feeling I can't seem to leave behind

G (Pickin' and Banjo)
There's an old man sittin' in a rocking chair
Who's got the best beagle dog in the county
I've been told
But his shotgun a-done got too rusty that old
Beagle dog he done grown a little too old
As he stares up into heaven
I'm sure I know the reason why
He's a-thinkin' about that promised land
In them Blue Ridge Mountain skies
F C G
And it's a lonesome feeling in my mind
F C G
A feeling I can't seem to leave behind
F C G Em
Carolina's where I'm at and I'll always hang my hat

Under those Blue Ridge Mountain skies
