[Verse 1]
G F
It's a lonesome road and a hard way to live
C G
But it's the only life that I know
G F
I met some people, I traveled around
C G
But home's always the best place to go
[Chorus]
F C G
And it's a lonesome feeling in my mind
F C G
A feeling that I can't leave behind
F C
Carolina's where I'm at
G Em
And I'll always hang my hat
F C Cadd9 C F C G F C G F C G F C Cadd9 G
Under those Blue Ridge Mountain skies
[Verse 2]
G F
Well I got me a woman back home
C G
She gave me a baby, too
G F
And she stands by my loving side
C G
And does anything I ask her to
[Chorus]
F C G
It's a lonesome feeling in my mind
F C G
A feeling I can't seem to leave behind
F C
Carolina's where I'm at
G Em
And I'll always hang my hat
F C Cadd9 C F C G F C G F C G F C Cadd9 G
Under those Blue Ridge Mountain skies
[Bridge]
G
There's an old man, sittin' in a rockin' chair
G
He's got the best beagle dog in the county I've been told
G
But his shotgun done got too rusty
G
That 'ole beagle dog he done grown a little too old
G
As he stares up into heaven, I'm sure I know the reason why
G
He's thinking about that promised land in them Blue Ridge Mountain skies
[Chorus]
F C G
And it's a lonesome feeling in my mind
F C G
A feeling I can't seem to leave behind
F C
Carolina's where I'm at
G Em
And I'll always hang my hat
F C Cadd9 C F C Cadd9 C
Under those Blue Ridge Mountain skies
F C Cadd9 C F C G F C G F C G F C Cadd9 G
Blue Ridge Mountain skies
