Smokey Mountain Memories

	  		
Intro: F  G  C 


verse 1 
C                          Am 
Smokey Mountain memories,  'Bout my home in Tennessee. 
F                            G 
Yesterday keeps calling me,  Calling me back home. 
C                             Am 
Mountains rising in my soul,  Higher than the dreams I've known. 
F                                  G                    C 
Misty-eyed, they cling to me in my Smokey Mountains memories. 

            C 
An old gray man with a dog,  Asleep at his feet, 
Dm                               Am 
Played a worn out fiddle full of melodies. 
   C   
He smiled with his eyes,  But the lines on his face, 
Dm                    G        C 
Told me more than the tunes he played. 


verse 2 
                 C                         Am 
Talking about my Smokey Mountain memories, Pretty girl in Tennessee. 
F                             G              
I was such a fool to leave,   Leave her all alone. 
C                             Am 
Think about her in my dreams; Wonder if she thinks of me. 
F                              G                   C 
Always, ever close to me in my Smokey Mountain memories. 
   
            C 
An old gray man with a dog,  Asleep at his feet, 
Dm                               Am 
Played a worn out fiddle full of melodies. 
   C   
He smiled with his eyes,  But the lines on his face, 
Dm                    G        C 
Told me more than the tunes he played
. 

verse 3 
C                                 Am 
Mister, play your fiddle, please. Play some mountain melodies. 
F                                  G 
I've been down this Lonesome Road, So far from home. 
C                          Am 
Nothing left to hold onto. Made some plans, - but they fell through. 
F                                       G                   C 
Now, there's nothing left for me but my Smokey Mountain memories.
