E                            A          
Cold mountains they are here around me 
                             E      A E 
Cold waters rolling down the stream 
                             A        
Oft in my sleep I'll think I see you 
                             E    A E A E 
But when I wake it's just a dream 
 

 
E                              A          
I've often thought, I've often wondered 
                                 E    A E 
What makes young women love young men 
                                   A        
They're like the stars on a summer morning 
                                      E    A E A E 
First they'll appear and then they're gone 
 

 
E                          A       
I'd rather be in some dark holler 
                         E      A E 
Where the sun don't ever shine 
                      A       
Than to see you with another 
                            E    A E A E 
And know you never would be mine

E                                A         
I've wandered down your lonesome highways 
                                 E      A E 
I've chased the stars most of my days 
                        A        
I'm going back to East Virginia 
                                E       A E A E 
The place where I was born and raised 
 

 
E                            A          
Cold mountains they are here around me 
                             E      A E 
Cold waters rolling down the stream 
                             A        
Oft in my sleep I'll think I see you 
                             E    A E A E 
But when I wake it's just a dream
