*Capo 3rd Fret (Perform in Key of Bb5 ) G5 B5 C5 G5 It's been ten long years since I left my home D5 In the hollow where I was born G5 B5 C5 G5 Where the cool fall nights make the wood smoke rise, D5 G5 And a fox hunter blows his horn. G5 B5 C5 G5 I fell in love with a girl from the town D5 I thought that she would be true G5 B5 C5 G5 I ran away to Charlottesville D5 G5 And worked in a sawmill or two (Chorus) D5 G5 What have they done to the old home place A5 D5 Why did they tear it down G5 B5 C5 G5 And why did I leave the plow in the field D5 G5 And look for a job in the town (Mandolin Solo Chords) G5 B5 C5 G5 G5 G5 D5 D5 G5 B5 C5 G5 G5 D5 G5 G5 G5 G5 G5 B5 C5 G5 Well the girl ran off with somebody else D5 The taverns took all my pay G5 B5 C5 G5 And here I stand where the old home stood D5 G5 Before they took it away B5 C5 G5 Now the geese fly south and the cold wind moans D5 As I stand here and hang my head G5 B5 C5 G5 I've lost my love I've lost my home D5 G5 And now I wish that I was dead D5 G5 What have they done to the old home place A5 D5 Why did they tear it down G5 B5 C5 G5 And why did I leave the plow in the field D5 G5 And look for a job in the town (Guitar Solo Chords) (Dobro Solo Chords) G5 B5 C5 G5 G5 G5 D5 D5 G5 B5 C5 G5 G5 D5 G5 G5 G5 G5 D5 G5 What have they done to the old home place A5 D5 Why did they tear it down G5 B5 C5 G5 And why did I leave the plow in the field D5 G5 And look for a job in the town.
