VERSE 1 
  D           G                 D 
I left my old home back in the mountains 
    D                          A 
For many long years I roamed around 
      D           G              D 
I can hear that lonesome whistle blowin' 
    D          A               D 
I'm going back there to settle down 

  G                   D 
I love those Carolina mountains 
        D                  A 
And the little girl I left behind 
      D         G        D 
But I know I'll never forget her 
    D      A               D 
Oh, how I long to make her mine
 
 
 
VERSE 2 
  D             G          D 
I looked out my window and wondered 
    D                         A 
If everything there looks the same 
      D        G              D 
I can see the blue eyes of my darlin' 
    D          A                   D 
I'm going back there to change her name 
 
 
CHORUS 
  G                   D 
I love those Carolina mountains 
        D                  A 
And the little girl I left behind 
      D         G        D 
But I know I'll never forget her 
    D      A               D 
Oh, how I long to make her mine
