VERSE 1 
  D5           G5                 D5 
I left my old home back in the mountains 
    D5                          A5 
For many long years I roamed around 
      D5           G5              D5 
I can hear that lonesome whistle blowin' 
    D5          A5               D5 
I'm going back there to settle down 


  G5                   D5 
I love those Carolina mountains 
        D5                  A5 
And the little girl I left behind 
      D5         G5        D5 
But I know I'll never forget her 
    D5      A5               D5 
Oh, how I long to make her mine  
 
VERSE 2 
  D5             G5          D5 
I looked out my window and wondered 
    D5                         A5 
If everything there looks the same 
      D5        G5              D5 
I can see the blue eyes of my darlin' 
    D5          A5                   D5 
I'm going back there to change her name 
 
CHORUS 
  G5                   D5 
I love those Carolina mountains 
        D5                  A5 
And the little girl I left behind 
      D5         G5        D5 
But I know I'll never forget her 
    D5      A5               D5 
Oh, how I long to make her mine
