E 
In my mind I see a picture and my thoughts begin to roam 
      A 
to the rowlden hills and valleys that surround my childhood home 
      F#m                        B7                        E 
I can almost smell the flowers growing wild along the track down to the stream. 
 
I hear grandpa telling stories sitting on the front porch swing 
         A 
scattered all around are pages of the songs that I would sing 
    F#m                          B7 
and there I am cross legged on a dream 
 
Chorus: 
           A 
I'd sing coat of many colours, I knew every word by heart 
      B 
and I'd fumble through the changes on an old flat top guitar 
      A                       F#m         B7               E 
make believe the city hills rolled into the smokey mountains tennessee. 
       A 
I'd swap bubble gum for curtain calls with other kids my age 
      B 
and the shows would last for hours on the Opry tree house stage 
      A                        B7                E 
and the dreams of little children echoe still, on Blackwood hill. 
 
I recall the day I packed my bags and waved Blackwood goodbye 

rowlden hills were in my rear view mirror, stars were in my eyes 

and I traded hairbrush microphones and tree house shows for lights and centre stage. 
 
sometimes the road I lived on leads me back to my old world 

on the front porch of my childhood home sits a little girl 

her innocence helps me turn back the page,  
 
when 
 
Chorus 
 
Bridge: 
A            B                 A                  E 
Every day was full of music, family and best friends. 
A            B              A            B7 
troubles of the world erased, by games of lets pretend. 
 
Chorus 
     A                                B7                 E 
The little girl inside of me is dreaming still, on blackwood hill.
