Chords

Timing 3/4 [Verse 1]
G                               C
I left the one that love in the mountains

G                   D
And all the love we shared

          G                         C
But each night as she kneels by her bedside

           G        D           G
I know she calls my name in her prayer
[Chorus]
         C                             G
When the moon shines on the Blue Ridge Mountains

                                      D7
And it seems I can hear my sweetheart call

      C                     G
How I long to be near to my darling

                 D              G
When the golden leaves begin to fall
[Verse 2]
G                                 C
She knows that I'll return to the mountains

G                               D
And will bring to her a wedding ring

        G                C
I will place it upon her finger

G               D            G
Happiness to us both it will bring
[Chorus]
         C                             G
When the moon shines on the Blue Ridge Mountains

                                      D7
And it seems I can hear my sweetheart call

      C                     G
How I long to be near to my darling

                D                G
When the golden leaves begin to fall
[Verse 3]
G                             C
Winter time is so cold in the mountains

G                                          D
The ground will soon be covered white with snow

      G                           C
How I long to keep the home fires burning

      G          D             G
For I know my darling needs me so
[Chorus]
         C                             G
When the moon shines on the Blue Ridge Mountains

                                       D7
And it seems I can hear my sweetheart call

      C                     G
How I long to be near to my darling

                 D              G
When the golden leaves begin to fall
[Outro]
                 D               G
When the golden leaves begin to fall
