          G        B7          C         G
It's been ten long years since I left my home

       G      G           D7          D7
in the holler where I was born,

          G         B7              C          G
where the cool fall nights make the wood smoke rise

        G          D7        G        G       G       G
and the fox hunter blows his horn
[Verse 2]
  G       B7          C             G
I fell in love with a girl from the town,

  G            G            D7       D7
I thought that she would be true.

  G    B7     C         G
I ran away to Charlottesville

    G           D          G       G
and worked in a sawmill or two.
[Chorus]
D                          G
What have they done to the old home place?

A7                   D7
Why did they tear it down?

    G         B7       C           G
And why did I leave my plow in the field

    G          D7         G         G
and look for a job in the town?
[Interlude] | G | B7 | C | G | | G | G | D7 | D7 | | G | B7 | C | G | | G | D7 | G | G | | G | G | [Verse 3]
    G        B7       C        G
The girl ran off with somebody else,

    G            G      D7       D7
the tariffs took all my pay.

    G      B7              C        G
And here I stand where the old home stood

  G         D7       G        G         G         G
before they took it away.
[Verse 4]
         G         B7            C         G
Now, the geese fly south and the cold wind blows

   G       G                D7       D7
as I stand here and hang my head.

     G       B7         C       G
I've lost my love, I've lost my home

    G     D7              G       G
and now I wish that I was dead.
[Chorus]
D                          G
What have they done to the old home place?

A7                   D7
Why did they tear it down?

    G         B7       C           G
And why did I leave my plow in the field

    G          D7         G         G
and look for a job in the town?

    G          D7         G***    D7* G*
and look for a job in the town?
