       G                   F
It's a lonesome road and a hard way to live

    C                         G
But it's the only life that I know

  G                  F
I met some people, I traveled around

    C                               G
But home's always the best place to go
[Chorus]
           F        C             G
And it's a lonesome feeling in my mind

  F              C             G
A feeling that I can't leave behind

    F                C
Carolina's where I'm at

         G              Em
And I'll always hang my hat

            F    C     Cadd9 Fmaj7   G
Under those Blue Ridge Mountain      skies

       G        F
Well I got me a woman back home

C                   G
She gave me a baby, too

        G            F
And she stands by my loving side

    C                       G
And does anything I ask her to
[Chorus]
           F        C             G
And it's a lonesome feeling in my mind

A feeling that I can't leave behind

    F                C
Carolina's where I'm at

         G              Em
And I'll always hang my hat

           G                     Cadd9
There's an old man, sittin' in a rockin' chair

Cadd9                                                G
He's got the best beagle dog in the county I've been told

G                            Cadd9
But his shotgun done got too rusty

Cadd9                                          G
That ol’ beagle dog he done grown a little too old

G                    Cadd9
As he stares up into heaven

Cadd9                      G
I'm sure I know the reason why

G                          Cadd9
He's a-thinking about that promised land

Cadd9                       G
In them Blue Ridge Mountain skies
[Chorus + Outro]
           F        C             G
And it's a lonesome feeling in my mind

  F              C             G
A feeling that I can't leave behind

    F                C
Carolina's where I'm at

         G              Em
And I'll always hang my hat

Under those Blue Ridge Mountain      skies
