{Intro}
G D7 G D7 G C D7 G
(Whistling and military drumming.)
[Chorus]
G          D7
I'm just a Smokey Mountain boy,

       G           D7
Coming back to the hills I love.

         G                C
With the tops of pine all bending in the wind

        G         D7   G
and the deep blue sky above.
[Verse 1]
               C        G
The closer and closer I get to home,

                   D7
the more excited I am.

C
Those were the mornings I'd roll out of bed,
start the day off with a hot corn bread.
A7                       D7
Smothered in huckleberry jam.
[Chorus]
G          D7
I'm just a Smokey Mountain boy,

       G           D7
Coming back to the hills I love.

         G                C
With the tops of pine all bending in the wind

        G         D7   G
and the deep blue sky above.
[Verse 2]
             C               G
I can almost hear the hounds running through the woods,

                        D7
close on the trail of a hare.

C
How I long to be with them, following the hounds a-hunting again.

A7                           D7
Getting me a big old grizzly bear.
[Chorus]
G          D7
I'm just a Smokey Mountain boy,

       G           D7
Coming back to the hills I love.

         G                C
With the tops of pine all bending in the wind

        G         D7   G
and the deep blue sky above.
[Verse 3]
           C          G
I traveled around and met lots of girls,

                     D7
no matter how many I see.

C
I left some pretty ones behind.
I know back home is where I'll find,
    A7                           D7
the girl whose love is meant for me.
[Chorus]
G          D7
I'm just a Smokey Mountain boy,

       G           D7
Coming back to the hills I love.

         G                C
With the tops of pine all bending in the wind

        G         D7   G
and the deep blue sky above.
{Outro}
G D7 G D7 G C D7 G
