Chords
The D/F# chord is really just playing the second fret of the low E string before the open Em
[Verse 1]
Em You oughta go north somebody told us C G 'Cause the air is filled with gold dust Em C G And fortune falls like snowflakes in your hands D/F# Em Now I don't recall you said it C G But we'd spend our lives on credit C G D G So we just headed out to find our promised land
[Verse 2]
D/F# Em Just poor smoky mountain farm folk C G With nothing more than high hopes Em C G So we hitched our station wagon to a star
D/F#. Em
But our dreams all fell in on us
C G 'Cause there was no land of promise C G D G And it's a stuggle keepin' sight of who you are
[Chorus]
D/F# Em D Oh and these northern nights are dreary C G And my southern heart is weary Em C G As I wonder how the old folks are back home D/F# Em D C G But I know that they all love me and I know they're thinking of me C G D G Smoky mountain memories keep me strong
[Verse 3]
D/F# Em Ya know I've been thinkin' just a whole lot lately C G About what's been and what awaits me Em C G It takes all I've got to give what life demands D/F# Em Oh you go insane if you give in to it C G Life's a mill and brother I've been through it C G D G I'm just thankful I'm creative with my hands
[Chorus]
D/F# Em D Oh and these northern nights are dreary C G These are southern eyes teary Em C G As I wonder how the old folks are back home Em D C G But I'll keep leanin' on my Jesus to love and guide and lead us C G D G Smoky mountain memories keep me strong
[Outro]
Em D C G If I'll keep lookin' to the Father he'll keep my head above the water C G D G All these smoky mountain memories keep me strong
