D G D G Bm A D G
D G D
Met her in the fall of 93 in the hills of Tennessee
G Bm
He was barely seventeen He was tall and strong and lean
G Bm G D A
They were deep in love by June Hand in hand beneath that moon
D F#m G
And she'd sing a little blue ridge mountain song
D G
And he'd just hum along. They'd dance all night til dawn
Bm G
On a hillside all alone, they were young and they were free
Bm G
Like a mountain melody True lovers they could be
A D G D A D G
Singin' that blue ridge song.
D G D
Married in her momma's wedding gown, bought a house and settled down
G Bm
He was drivin' all around, haulin' logs from town to town
G Bm
And he'd come home every night,
G D A
She'd be waiting in the front porch light
D F#m G
And she'd sing a little blue ridge mountain song
D G
And he'd just hum along. They'd dance all night til dawn
Bm G
On the front porch all alone, they were young and they were free
Bm G A
Like a mountain melody, In love as they could be-e
D G D G Bm A
Makin' that blue ridge song
G Bm G A D
F#m G D
They couldn't tell him what was wrong. They just didn't know.
A G Bm
It wasn't very long, til Jesus called her home
G Bm
Then he got down on his knees,
G A D
God don't take my love from me, Just let her
D F#m G D
Sing a little blue ridge mountain song, like she has all along
Bm A G
I'll dance with her til dawn, on a hillside all a-lone
Bm G Bm
And we'll spend eternity, like a mountain melody
G A D G D G A D
In love as we can be singin' that blue ridge song
G A D
Now I live there all alone, in the house that they called home
G D G Bm
In his heart there lies a boy, from the absence of her voice
G Bm Em G A
And he lays down every night, And dreams about that front porch light
D F#m G
Where she'd sing a little blue ridge mountain song.
D G
And he'd just come along, they'd dance all night til dawn
A Bm G
On the hillside all alone. They were young and they were free
Bm G A
Like a mountain melody, In love as they could be-e
D G D
Makin' that blue ridge song. Little blue ridge mountain song
G D C G D
Sing a little blue ridge mountain song
