Em B7 C D G

[Verse 1]
D                              C   G
Been up and down this lonesome highway
D                       G
Coast to coast and back again
D                       C  G
I just had to do things my way
Am                    D    B7
Had to go against the wind

[Chorus]
Em                              B7
Cause I’ve been dreaming of the girl I left behind
         C                              G
Lord she had the truest heart I’ve ever known
Em                          B7
And I’ve been looking for a world I’ll never find
     C               D             G
Ever since I left my East Kentucky Home

[Verse 2]
D                          C   G
I can smell the wood smoke risin'
D                        G
feel the wind out in the pines
D                      C G
See the way I left her cryin'
Am                    D   B7
Every time I close my eyes

[Chorus]
Em                              B7
Cause I’ve been dreaming of the girl I left behind
         C                              G
Lord she had the truest heart I’ve ever known
Em                          B7
And I’ve been looking for a world I’ll never find
     C               D             G
Ever since I left my East Kentucky Home

[Verse 3]
D                          C   G
Think I’ll get up with the sunrise,
D                             G
Think I’ll pack my things and go
D                          C  G
It's taken me this long to realize
Am                       D    B7
The only thing I need to know

[Chorus]
Em                              B7
Cause I’ve been dreaming of the girl I left behind
         C                              G
Lord she had the truest heart I’ve ever known
Em                          B7
And I’ve been looking for a world I’ll never find
     C               D             G
Ever since I left my East Kentucky Home
     C               D             G
Ever since I left my East Kentucky Home
