D Bm
Smokey mountain memories ‘bout my home in Tennessee
G A
yesterday keeps callin’ me, callin’ me home
D Bm
mountains risin’ in my soul higher than the dreams I’ve known
G A D
misty eyes they cling to me my Smokey mountain memories
an old grey man with a dog asleep at his feet
plays a worn out fiddle full of melodies
he smiles with his eyes but the lines on his face
told me as much as the tunes he played
D Bm
talkin’ ‘bout my smokey mountain memories pretty girl in Tennessee
G A
I was such a fool to leave, leave her all a lone
D Bm
I think about her in my dreams wonder if she thinks of me
G A D
I’ll always hold her close to me in my smokey mountain memories
D Bm
so mister play your fiddle please play some mountain memories
G A
I’ve been down a lonely road so far from home
D Bm
nothing left to hold on to made some plans but they fell through
G A D
now there’s nothing left for me but my smokey mountain memories
I don't know how to play the 2nd verse. It is slightly different from the rest. If
