Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Chorus

SOLO: VERSE CHORDS

OH I FOLLOWED CLOSE BEHIND HER, TRIED TO HOLD UP AND BE BRAVE

 BUT I COULD NOT HIDE MY SORROW, WHEN THEY LAID HER IN THE GRAVE.

Chorus

I WENT BACK HOME, MY HOME WAS LONELY, MISSED MY MOTHER NOW SHE’S C/G GONE

 ALL MY BROTHERS, SISTERS CRYING, WHAT A HOME SO SAD AND ALONE

Chorus

SOLO: VERSE CHORDS

WE SANG SONGS OF CHILDHOOD, HYMNS OF FAITH THAT MADE US STRONG

 THE ONES THAT MOTHER SANG MAY HAVE TAUGHT US, WITH THE ANGLES

SANG ALONG CHORUS:

By Johnny Cash, Roy Acuff, Ricky Skaggs
