E
    Take me back, take me back to my old mountain home,
           A                        E
    take me back where my heart longs to be,

    where we played by the brook in the cool shady nook,
            B7
    in the mountains of Tennessee.
           E
    In my old mountain home, where the wild roses bloom,
           A                      E
    is a spot just like heaven to me.
             A                       E
    Take me back, take me back to my old mountain home,
            B7                 E
    in the mountains of Tennessee.

             E
    Take me back, take me back to my old mountain home,
             A                        E
    take me back to my old mother's knee,

    where the stars shine bright and the birds sing free,
            B7
    in the mountains of Tennessee.
              E
    Round my old mountain home, where I used to roam,
             A                    E
    they're waiting a welcome for me.
             A                  E
    Take me back to my old log cabin home,
            B7                 E
    in the mountains of Tennessee.
