Smoky Mountain Memories Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

G You ought to Em7go north somebody told us

  Cause the Cair is filled with gGold dust

  And Em7fortune falls like sCnow flakes in your hGands

  Now I dEm7on't recall who said it

  But we'd Clived so long on cBmredit

  And so we Cheaded out to Dfind our promised lGand

  Just poor SEm7moky Mountains farm folk

  With noCthing more than hGigh hopes

  So we hiEm7tched our station wCagon to a sGtar

  But our Em7dreams are failing on us

  Cause there Cwas no land of prBmomise

  Though it's a sCtruggle just kDeepin' sight of who Gyou are

  Oh and these nEm7orthern nights are dBmreary

  And my Csouthern heart is Bmweary

  As I woCnder how the oAmld folks are back hG7Mome

  But I kEm7now that they all lBmove me

  And they'reC all thinking of Bm7me

  C Smoky Mountains mAm7emories keep me strGong

  You know I've beeEm7n thinkin' a whole lot lately

  About what's Cbeen and what aGwaits me

  It takes Em7all I've got to givCe what life demGands

  You go inEm7sane if you give in to it

  Life's a Cmill and I've been tBmhrough it

  I'm just tChankful I'm creaDtive with my hGands

  Oh and these nEm7orthern nights they'reBm dreary

  And my Csouthern eyes are Bmteary

  As I woCnder how the oAmld folks are back hG7Mome

  But I'll keep Em7leanin' on my JBmesus

  He'll loCve and guide and Bmlead us

  C Smoky Mountains mAm7emories keep me strGong

  If I'll keep lEm7ooking to the fBmather

  KeepC our heads abovBme the water C

  While the Smoky MAm7ountains memoriesD keep me strGong
