D5 
Way up north by the ice bound ocean 
      C5   C5 C5 C5   D5 
I was born        I was born 
D5 
Way up north in the Merrimack county 
          C5    C5 C5 C5       D5     C5 C5 C5 C5 D5 
That's my home         that's my home 
D5 
When I was younger and in my schooling 
             C5         C5 C5  C5     D5 
I walked the mountains          made of stone 
D5 
The distance sang about tomorrow 
      C5  C5 C5 C5                   D5     C5 C5 C5 C5  D5 
And I did         wish I was grown and gone 
D5 
Well as I grew indeed I rambled 
    C5     C5 C5 C5      D5 
Out along         the open road 
D5 
There I learned the rainbow circle 
           C5    C5 C5  C5     D5     C5 C5 C5 C5  D5 
It's truly said that's a sign of storm 
D5 
Now I'm old my dreams they wander 
    C5    C5  C5 C5     D5     
Far away in       yesterday 
D5 
I'm going home to the Merrimack county 
              C5     C5   C5 C5         D5   C5 C5  C5 C5  D5 
And  find the grass that      hides my grave 
D5 
So let the birds fly down the valley 
        C5      C5  C5 C5 D5  
Let the storms roam on  the sea 
D5 
I was born to the rainbow circle 
      C5                C5  C5 C5  D5 
Stoney mountain that's home     to   me
