Standard Tuning: EADGBe

Intro: Em B7 C D G


Verse:

D                              C   G
Been up and down this lonesome highway 
D                       G
coast to coast and back again 
D                        C G
I just had to do things my way 
Am                    D
had to go against the wind 

Chorus:
Em                              B7
Cause I’ve been dreaming of the girl I left behind 
         C                              G
Lord she had the truest heart I’ve ever known 
Em                          B7
and I’ve been looking for a world I’ll never find 
     C               D             G
Ever since I left my East Kentucky Home 


Remaining verses/choruses are the same as above..


I can smell the wood smoke risin' 
feel the wind out in the pines 
see the way I left her cryin' 
every time I close my eyes 


Cause I’ve been dreaming of the girl I left behind 
Lord she had the truest heart I’ve ever known 
And I’ve been looking for a world I’ll never find 
Ever since I left my East Kentucky Home 


Think I’ll get up with the sunrise, 
think I’ll pack my things and go 
it's taken me this long to realize 
the only thing I need to know 


Cause I’ve been dreaming of the girl I left behind 
Lord she had the truest heart I’ve ever known 
And I’ve been looking for a world I’ll never find 
Ever since I left my East Kentucky Home 
Ever since I left my East Kentucky Home
