CAPO: 2nd Fret
[Intro]
G C G C G
[Verse 1]
C G D C
Out on the street it was raining today
D G C G
Homeless man stood in the cold
C G D C
Gave him five dollars and went on my way
D C G
Big city blues in my soul
[Verse 2]
C G D C
Maybe like me that man chose to live here
D G C G
Where there are days your heart dies
C G D C
Maybe he dreamed of a place far away
D C G Em
Under the wide open skies
[Verse 3]
Bm C G Bm
Went on my way feeling strange all that day
C G D G
Wondering what had gone wrong
C G D C
Deep in my heart I could hear that voice call
D C G
Haunting me all that day long
[Chorus]
C G C
Mountain girl___ in the city
Em Am D
You've been gone___ far too long
C Em G
Find your way__ back to the mountains
Bm C D
Where you know__ you belong
C D G C G C G
Where your dreams can't go wrong
[Verse 4]
C G D C
I've seen the world and it's sights in my day
D G C G
Cities that blaze like the sun
C G D C
I've had my share of their riches and fame
D C G
Done things I never should have done__
[Verse 5]
Em Bm C G Bm
Been broken hearted and broken some hearts
C G D G
Tried running hard from my pain
C G D
And all along that voice calls in my soul
C D C G
Come back to the mountains again
[Chorus]
C G C
Mountain girl___ in the city
Em Am D
You've been gone___ far too long
C Em G
Find your way__ back to the mountains
Bm C D
Where you know__ you belong
C D G D
Where your dreams can't go wrong
[Bridge]
C Em D
Bought a ticket back again
C Em D
Heading home once more___
C Em G
Feel that aching pain recede
D G
Like the waves on a shore
[Verse 6]
C G D C
I feel the heart of the mountains again
D G C G
Beating inside my breast
C G D C
Bringing me back to the place I belong
D C G Em
Bringing me home to the west
[Verse 7]
Bm C G Bm
No pain or sorrow can keep me away
C G D G
I'd even walk that last, long mile
C G D C
Here in the mountains where every sunrise starts
D C G
I'll heal my heart for awhile
[Chorus]
C G C
Mountain girl___ in the city
Em Am D
You've been gone___ far too long
C Em G
Find your way__ back to the mountains
Bm C D
Where you know__ you belong
C D G C G C
Where your dreams can't go wrong
