Smokey mountain memories ‘bout my home in Tennessee
G                           A
yesterday keeps callin’ me, callin’ me home
D                           Bm
mountains risin’ in my soul higher than the dreams I’ve known
G                              A                   D
misty eyes they cling to me my Smokey mountain memories


an old grey man with a dog asleep at his feet

plays a worn out fiddle full of melodies

he smiles with his eyes but the lines on his face

told me as much as the tunes he played

D                                         Bm
talkin’ ‘bout my smokey mountain memories pretty girl in Tennessee
G                           A
I was such a fool to leave, leave her all a lone
D                              Bm
I think about her in my dreams wonder if she thinks of me
G                                      A                   D
I’ll always hold her close to me in my smokey mountain memories

D                                 Bm
so mister play your fiddle please play some mountain memories
G                            A
I’ve been down a lonely road so far from home
D                          Bm
nothing left to hold on to made some plans but they fell through
G                                      A                   D
now there’s nothing left for me but my smokey mountain memories
