                        Old Home Place 
 
 
 *Capo 3rd Fret 

         G                  B7          C             G 
 It's been ten long years since I left my home 
                                          D 
 In the hollow where I was born. 
                   G          B7                    C                 G 
 Where the cool fall nights make the wood smoke rise, 
                            D            G 
 And a fox hunter blows his horn. 


 I fell in love with a girl from the town 
 I thought that she would be true.

 I ran away to Charlottesville 
 and worked in a sawmill or two. 


 (Chorus) 
    D                                     G 
 What have they done to the old home place, 
  A                            D 
 why did they tear it down? 
          G            B7          C               G 
 And why did I leave the plow in the field, 
                        D             G 
 and look for a job in the town. 


 Well, the girl ran off with somebody else 
 the taverns took all my pay. 
 And here I stand where the old home stood 
 before they took it away. 


 Now the geese fly south and the cold wind moans 
 as I stand here and hang my head. 
 I've lost my love, I've lost my home 
 and now I wish that I was dead.
