DBm Smokey mountain memories ‘bout my home in Tennessee GA yesterday keeps callin’ me, callin’ me home DBm mountains risin’ in my soul higher than the dreams I’ve known GAD 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
DBm talkin’ ‘bout my smokey mountain memories pretty girl in Tennessee GA I was such a fool to leave, leave her all a lone DBm I think about her in my dreams wonder if she thinks of me GAD I’ll always hold her close to me in my smokey mountain memories
DBm so mister play your fiddle please play some mountain memories GA I’ve been down a lonely road so far from home DBm nothing left to hold on to made some plans but they fell through GAD now there’s nothing left for me but my smokey mountain memories
