G C I left the one that love in the mountains G D And all the love we shared G C But each night as she kneels by her bedside G D G I know she calls my name in her prayer [Chorus] C G When the moon shines on the Blue Ridge Mountains D7 And it seems I can hear my sweetheart call C G How I long to be near to my darling D G When the golden leaves begin to fall [Verse 2] G C She knows that I'll return to the mountains G D And will bring to her a wedding ring G C I will place it upon her finger G D G Happiness to us both it will bring [Chorus] C G When the moon shines on the Blue Ridge Mountains D7 And it seems I can hear my sweetheart call C G How I long to be near to my darling D G When the golden leaves begin to fall [Verse 3] G C Winter time is so cold in the mountains G D The ground will soon be covered white with snow G C How I long to keep the home fires burning G D G For I know my darling needs me so [Chorus] C G When the moon shines on the Blue Ridge Mountains D7 And it seems I can hear my sweetheart call C G How I long to be near to my darling D G When the golden leaves begin to fall [Outro] D G When the golden leaves begin to fall
