Song: Blue Ridge Cabin Home
By: John Hartford (From What I Know)
Genre: Bluegrass
[Verse]
A D
There's a well beaten path on this old mountainside
E A
Where I wandered when I was a lad
D
There I wandered alone to the place I call home
E A
In those Blue ridge hills far away
[Chorus]
A D
Oh I love those hills of old Virginia
E A
From those Blue ridge hills I did roam
D
When I die won't you bury me on the mountain
E A
Far away near my Blue ridge mountain home
[Verse]
D
Now my thoughts wander back to the ramshackle shack
E A
In those blue ridge hills far away
D
Where my mother and dad were laid there to rest
E A
They´re sleeping in peace together there
[Chorus]
A D
Oh I love those hills of old Virginia
E A
From those Blue ridge hills I did roam
D
When I die won't you bury me on the mountain
E A
Far away near my Blue ridge mountain home
[Verse]
D
I return to that old cabin home with the sigh
E A
I've been longing for days gone by
D
When I die won't you bury me on that old mountain side
E A
In those Blue ridge hills far away
[Chorus]
A D
Oh I love those hills of old Virginia
E A
From those Blue ridge hills I did roam
D
When I die won't you bury me on the mountain
E A
Far away near my Blue ridge mountain home
