D F#m G A D
[Chorus]
D F#m
Rock me grandpa, tell me ‘bout the mountains
Bm G A
Tell me how the Cherokee found them, many moons ago…
D F#m
Rock me Grandpa, tell me ‘bout the hills and valleys,
Bm G A
Tell me ‘bout the girl named Sally, and how you loved her so…
[Verse 1]
D F#m
Sit on my lap now boy, n look off towards the west,
G A
Now close your eyes and dream awhile, and I’ll supply the rest.
D F#m
That’s a mountain sunset boy paintin’ fire in the sky,
G A
And it’s the good Lord's way of singin’ you a Blue Ridge Lullaby
[Chorus]
D F#m
Rock me grandpa, tell me ‘bout the mountains
Bm G A
Tell me how the Cherokee found them, many moons ago…
D F#m
Rock me Grandpa, tell me ‘bout the hills and valleys,
Bm G A
Tell me ‘bout the girl named Sally, and how you loved her so…
[Verse 2]
D F#m
Sit on my lap now boy, and I’ll tell you about the days,
G A
When your Grandma and I used to lie in the grass just to watch the skies ablaze.
D F#m
It’s been about forty years, your Grandma, she’s been gone,
G A
But I can see those eyes in the Blue Ridge skies that called my Sally home…
[Chorus]
D F#m
Rock me grandpa, tell me ‘bout the mountains
Bm G A
Tell me how the Cherokee found them, many moons ago…
D F#m
Rock me Grandpa, tell me ‘bout the hills and valleys,
Bm G A
Tell me ‘bout the girl named Sally, and how you loved her so…

[Verse 3]
D F#m
So I sat on his lap awhile, and I looked off towards the West,
G A
And I closed my eyes and dreamed awhile, and he supplied the rest,
D F#m
Well there’s a mountain sunset now, paintin’ fire in the sky,
G A
And as the shadows fall, I can still recall a tear in the old man’s eye
A
When I said…
[Chorus]
D F#m
Rock me grandpa, tell me ‘bout the mountains
Bm G A
Tell me how the Cherokee found them, many moons ago…
D F#m
Rock me Grandpa, tell me ‘bout the hills and valleys,
Bm G A
Tell me ‘bout the girl named Sally, and how you loved her so…

Rock me Grandpa…

Rock me Grandpa…
