Carter Family - The Mountains Of Tennessee


    (capo 1st fret)

(verse 1)

         E
Take me back take me back to my old mountain home
         A                    E
Take me back where my heart longs to be

Where we played by the brook in the cool shady nook
          B7
In the mountains of Tennessee

 
(verse 2)
       E
In my old mountain home where the wild roses bloom
       A                      E
Is a spot just like heaven to me
         A                       E
Take me back take me back to my old mountain home
          B7          E
In the mountains of Tennessee

 
(verse 3)
         E
Take me back take me back to my old mountain home
         A                       E  
Take me back to my old mothers knee

Where the stars shine bright and the birds are free
          B7
In the mountains of Tennessee

 
(verse 4)
          E
Round my old mountain home where I used to roam
         A                  E
Their waiting a welcome for me
         A                   E 
Take me back to my old log cabin home
         B7           E
In the mountains of Tennessee
