G                          C
There's a well beaten path in the old mountainside
      D7                      G
Where I wandered when I was a lad
                            C
And I wandered alone to the place I call home
   D7                         G
In those Blue Ridge hills far away

                             C
Oh I love those hills of old Virginia
     D7                           G
From those Blue Ridge hills I did roam
                                    C
When I die won't you bury me on the mountain
    D7                               G   
Far away near my Blue Ridge mountain home
 
                               C
Now my thoughts wander back to that ramshackle shack
   D7                         G
In those Blue Ridge hills far away
                             C
Where my mother and dad were laid there to rest
         D7                         G
They are sleeping in peace together there

Repeat #2

                           C
I return to that old cabin home with the sigh
     D7                         G
I've been longing for days gone by
                                     C
When I die won't you bury me on that old mountain side
     D7                                 G
Make my resting place upon the hills so high

Repeat #2 x2
