VERSE:
C F C
I woke up one morning to a world that was grey
G F C
Sunshine was gone and the birds had flown away
F C
I wanted to be in the early mountain dew
G F C
Where big city lights are oh so few
CHORUS:
Am G F C
Back to the land where the water runs free
Am G F C
Back in those hills is where I want to be
Am G F C
Oh dear Lord please take me there
Am G F C
Oh let me breathe your sweet fresh air
VERSE:
C
I'm homesick for the land
F C
That I used to plow
G F C
Please dear Lord get me there somehow
F C
Back to the land that I'm so fond of
G
You can hear the birds a singin'
F C
In the blue sky up above
VERSE:
C F C
This breeze I long for has tall green trees
G
With birds you had flowers
F C
and a warm summer breeze
F C
Is where I want to be in the early mountain dew
G F C
Where big city lights are oh so few
CHORUS:
Am G F C
Back to the land where the water runs free
Am G F C
Back in those hills is where I want to be
Am G F C
Oh dear Lord please take me there
Am G F C
Oh let me breathe your sweet fresh air
CHORUS:
Am G F C
Back to the land where the water runs free
Am G F C
Back in those hills is where I want to be
Am G F C
Oh dear Lord please take me there
Am G F C
Oh let me breathe your sweet fresh air
