    smokey mountain memories 'bout my home in tennessee 
    A5                         D5 
    yesterday keeps callin' me callin' me hooooome 
    G5 
    mountains rising in my soul 
    E5 
    higher than the dreams i've known 
    A5 
    misty eyed they cling to me my 
    D5                     G5 
    smokey mountain memories 

     ...................... 
     G5 
    an old gray man with a dog asleep at his feet 
     E5 
    plays a worn out fiddle full of melodies 
    G5 
    he smiles with his eyes but the lines on his face 
    A5                      D5        G5 
    told me as much as the tunes he played....

    E5 
    pretty girl from tennessee 
    A5

    i think about her in my dreams 
    E5 
    i wonder if she thinks of me 
    A5 
    i'll always hold her close to me in my 
    D5                     G5

    D5 
    so far from hooooome 
    G5 
    nothing left to hold on to 
    E5 
    i made some plans but they fell through
