[Verse 1]
      G                   F
It's a lonesome road and a hard way to live
   C                         G
But it's the only life that I know
 G                  F
I met some people, I traveled around
   C                               G
But home's always the best place to go

[Chorus]
          F        C             G
And it's a lonesome feeling in my mind
 F              C             G
A feeling that I can't leave behind
   F                C
Carolina's where I'm at
        G              Em
And I'll always hang my hat
           F    C     Cadd9 C  F C G F C G F C G F C Cadd9 G
Under those Blue Ridge Mountain skies

[Verse 2]
      G        F
Well I got me a woman back home
C                  G
She gave me a baby, too
       G            F
And she stands by my loving side
   C                       G
And does anything I ask her to

[Chorus]
      F        C             G
It's a lonesome feeling in my mind
 F               C             G
A feeling I can't seem to leave behind
   F                C
Carolina's where I'm at
        G              Em
And I'll always hang my hat
           F    C     Cadd9 C  F C G F C G F C G F C Cadd9 G
Under those Blue Ridge Mountain skies

[Bridge]
          G
There's an old man, sittin' in a rockin' chair
            G
He's got the best beagle dog in the county I've been told
       G
But his shotgun done got too rusty
         G
That 'ole beagle dog he done grown a little too old
     G
As he stares up into heaven, I'm sure I know the reason why
    G
He's thinking about that promised land in them Blue Ridge Mountain skies

[Chorus]
          F        C             G
And it's a lonesome feeling in my mind
 F               C             G
A feeling I can't seem to leave behind
   F                C
Carolina's where I'm at
        G              Em
And I'll always hang my hat
           F    C     Cadd9 C  F C   Cadd9 C
Under those Blue Ridge Mountain skies
F   C     Cadd9 C  F C G F C G F C G F C Cadd9 G
