[Verse 1]
G C G
Back in the hills, when we were only kids
C D D7
Love shined like a diamond in your eyes
G C G
I swore I'd never hurt you, then I did
D G G7
Now I'm all alone with all my lies
[Bridge]
C G
I promised that I'd never be untrue
D A A7 D D7
I'd never make you cry
G C G
The only promise that I didn't break
D G
Was to love you till the day I die
[Solo]

[Verse 2]
G C G
I wish I'd never seen those city lights
C D D7
A sight for a country boy to see
G C G
For every one that you see shining bright
D G G7
Another is burning out like me
[Bridge]
C G
I wouldn't listen though you told me, dear
D A A7 D D7
I couldn't see the lie
G C G
But all the same, I still love you tonight
D G
And I'll love you till the day I die

[Verse 3]
G C G
They built this prison just for fools like me
C D D7
Who don't know treasure from stone
G C G
I killed a man, now I won't ever see
D G G7
The green rolling hills where I was born
[Bridge]
G
No, I won't ever see your face again
D A A7 D D7
But if I close my eyes
G C G
I can almost hear you call me back to then
D G
And I'll love you till the day I die
D G
I'll love you till the day I die
