[Verse]
C               F           G   
Woke up this morning to the 
           C
humming of the engines
C                  F             
Hauling nature's finest from the 
G            C
Gulf of Mexico
C                 F      G      
Ridin' this ol' river is 
           C
peaceful but it's lonesome
C           F               G   
It makes wonder how the old 
             C
folks are at home


[Chorus]
Continúa después del anuncio
C                           F    
Now the years have blown by me 
       G                  C
like the wind through the pines
C       F           C            
But the song of the south is ever
 G                 C
 sweet as homemade wine
C                       F        
Oh how I miss those mountains 
      G              Am
when the Laurels are in bloom
       F                  C       
N' the southern stars are dancin' 
       G              C
'round North Carolina moon

C                 F               
Just road through Memphis I could 
G                  C
hear them guitar's playing
C            F               G  
They had the blues so bad it 
                  C
almost broke my heart
C             F            G    
Don't sound nothing like a band 
              C
of tree frogs singing
C             F                  
Every now and then they'd get in 
G                   C
tune with grandpa's harp

[Chorus]

[Instrumental]
C               G                
When I die boys make me this 
     C
promise
C              F            G   
You'll send my body back up 
             C
North Carolina way
C                   F          G
I don't want no tombstone just 
                C
lay me next to mama
C                F           G  
And let the honeysuckle grow 
          C
wild upon my grave
