[Intro]
F G C
[Verse 1]
C Am
Smokey Mountain memories, 'Bout my home in Tennessee.
F G
Yesterday keeps calling me, Calling me back home.
C Am
Mountains rising in my soul, Higher than the dreams I've known.
F G C
Misty-eyed, they cling to me in my Smokey Mountains memories.
[Chorus]
C
An old gray man with a dog, Asleep at his feet,
Dm Am
Played a worn out fiddle full of melodies.
C
He smiled with his eyes, But the lines on his face,
Dm G C
Told me more than the tunes he played.
[Verse 2]
C Am
Talking about my Smokey Mountain memories, Pretty girl in Tennessee.
F G
I was such a fool to leave, Leave her all alone.
C Am
Think about her in my dreams; Wonder if she thinks of me.
F G C
Always, ever close to me in my Smokey Mountain memories.
[Chorus]
C
An old gray man with a dog, Asleep at his feet,
Dm Am
Played a worn out fiddle full of melodies.
C
He smiled with his eyes, But the lines on his face,
Dm G C
Told me more than the tunes he played.
[Verse 3]
C Am
Mister, play your fiddle, please. Play some mountain melodies.
F G
I've been down this Lonesome Road, So far from home.
C Am
Nothing left to hold onto. Made some plans, - but they fell through.
F G C
Now, there's nothing left for me but my Smokey Mountain memories.
[Verse 4]
C Am
Talking about my Smokey Mountain memories, 'Bout my home in Tennessee.
F G
Yesterday keeps calling me, Calling me back home.
C Am
Mountains rising in my soul, Higher than the dreams I've known.
F G C
Misty-eyed, they cling to me in my Smokey Mountains memories.
[Outro]
F G C G C
Misty-eyed, they cling to me in my Smokey Mountains memories.
