It's a long, long way from the hills of Carolina,

    G+G     E minorEm     C majorC       D MajorD
to the arms of my darling in Jackson, Tennessee.

      G+G     E minorEm   C majorC       A minorAm
And it's a hard, hard way to try to make a living,

       G+G        E minorEm     C majorC    D MajorD  G+G
but it's the quickest way to get ahead, both of us agree.

And it's been twenty-seven weeks, but it seems more like forever,

G+G         E minorEm    C majorC       D MajorD
still the pay was good and worth the sacrifice.

  G+G        E minorEm      C majorC        A minorAm
The work is finally over and I'm getting close to Jackson

G+G        E minorEm      C majorC      D MajorD   G+G
I can't wait to see her and I know she'll be surprised.

     D MajorD              C majorC
How many times must I cross that old Caney Fork River,

G+G     E minorEm     C majorC       D MajorD
traveling through the State of Tennessee?

     D MajorD              C majorC
How many times must I cross that old Caney Fork River,

G+G        E minorEm    A minorAm   C majorC        D MajorD     G+G
'til I know that I'm home free, until I know that I am home free?

she didn't know I was coming home tonight.
