Out on the street it was raining today

         D                G     C  G
Homeless man stood in the cold

              C           G          D    C
Gave him five dollars and went on my way

Big city blues in my soul

Maybe like me that man chose to live here

Where there are days your heart dies

Under the wide open skies

Went on my way feeling strange all that day

Wondering what had gone wrong

           C             G               D     C
Deep in my heart I could hear that voice call

            D           C      G
Haunting me all that day long
[Chorus]
             C          G     C
Mountain girl___ in the city

            Em  Am          D
You've been gone___ far too long

Find your way__ back to the mountains

Where you know__ you belong

Where your dreams can't go wrong

I've seen the world and it's sights in my day

            D              G    C  G
Cities that blaze like the sun

            C              G          D     C
I've had my share of their riches and fame

              D                 C   G
Done things I never should have done__
[Verse 5]
Em          Bm          C           G       Bm
Been broken hearted and broken some hearts

              C            G    D  G
Tried running hard from my pain

         C               G           D
And all along that voice calls in my soul

     C           D          C     G
Come back to the mountains again

Bought a ticket back again

                  C   Em   D
Heading home once more___

                 C      Em    G
Feel that aching pain recede

                    D      G
Like the waves on a shore
[Verse 6]
           C            G          D     C
I feel the heart of the mountains again

        D         G       C  G
Beating inside my breast

            C           G         D     C
Bringing me back to the place I belong

            D           C     G  Em
Bringing me home to the west
[Verse 7]
           Bm         C        G    Bm
No pain or sorrow can keep me away

         C               G      D  G
I'd even walk that last, long mile

            C               G             D       C
Here in the mountains where every sunrise starts

             D          C      G
I'll heal my heart for awhile
