D        Dmaj7      D9

G                                D
Up in them mountains teaching school

D    Dmaj7     D9             G
All alone in a one room shack

                                D
Teaching the children all she knew

G                          D
We spent a lot of hours together

         C                                  D
And one day she said she'd love me for all time

C                           D

Continues after the ad
       C                         Fill Riff X 2
And I hope she don't change her mind

 D        Dmaj7      D9
We took a trip to Montana

 G                         D
Guess we were looking for gold

 D    Dmaj7   D9
Never saw a trace of it

G                              D
But it was everywhere we were told

 G           D         C                   D
Worked in a mine for thirteen hours every day

C                         D

      C                                 Fill Riff X 2
And knew she wasn't meant to live that way


D Bm F#m7   G             D Bm F#m7
          The going was rough

 G                     D Bm F#m7
But she treated me so kind

G                         D

       C                         Fill Riff X 2
And I hope she don't change her mind


Interlude on Intro Chords


 D        Dmaj7       D9
Now we're back in Carolina

G                              D
Up in them Smokies where we belong

 D    Dmaj7        D9       G
Never knew why we went away

                              D
Can't understand why we were gone

G                     D
Been with her twenty years

    C                                    D
And all those years she made me feel so fine

C                                D
And she still tells me that she loves me

       C                        Fill Riff X 2
And I hope she don't change her mind

       C                        Fill Riff X 2 (D)
And I hope she don't change her mind
