Smoky Mountain Memories Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

CYou ought to go north Am7somebody told us

 Cause the Fair is filled with gCold dust

 And Am7fortune falls like sFnow flakes in your hCands

 Now I dAm7on't recall who said it

 But we'd Flived so long on cEmredit

 And so we Fheaded out to Gfind our promised lCand

 Just poor SAm7moky Mountains farm folk

 With noFthing more than hCigh hopes

 So we hiAm7tched our station wFagon to a sCtar

 But our Am7dreams are failing on us

 Cause there Fwas no land of prEmomise

 Though it's a sFtruggle just kGeepin' sight of who Cyou are

 Oh and these nAm7orthern nights are dEmreary

 And my Fsouthern heart is Emweary

 As I woFnder how the oDmld folks are back hC7Mome

 But I kAm7now that they all lEmove me

 And they'reF all thinking of Em7me

F Smoky Mountains mDm7emories keep me strCong

 You know I've beeAm7n thinkin' a whole lot lately

 About what's Fbeen and what aCwaits me

 It takes Am7all I've got to givFe what life demCands

 You go inAm7sane if you give in to it

 Life's a Fmill and I've been tEmhrough it

 I'm just tFhankful I'm creaGtive with my hCands

 Oh and these nAm7orthern nights they'reEm dreary

 And my Fsouthern eyes are Emteary

 As I woFnder how the oDmld folks are back hC7Mome

 But I'll keep Am7leanin' on my JEmesus

 He'll loFve and guide and Emlead us

F Smoky Mountains mDm7emories keep me strCong

 If I'll keep lAm7ooking to the fEmather

 KeepF our heads abovEme the water F

 While the Smoky MDm7ountains memoriesG keep me strCong
