VERSE:
   C                        F              C
I woke up one morning to a world that was grey
              G            F                C
Sunshine was gone and the birds had flown away
                       F              C
I wanted to be in the early mountain dew
                 G        F      C
Where big city lights are oh so few 


CHORUS:
 Am          G              F          C
Back to the land where the water runs free
 Am            G         F             C
Back in those hills is where I want to be
Am       G     F              C
Oh dear Lord please take me there
Am          G            F          C
Oh let me breathe your sweet fresh air 
 

VERSE:
 C            
I'm homesick for the land 
  F             C
That I used to plow
              G   F                C
Please dear Lord get me there somehow
                          F       C
Back to the land that I'm so fond of
                          G
You can hear the birds a singin'
        F            C
In the blue sky up above 


VERSE:
 C                          F           C
This breeze I long for has tall green trees
                    G
With birds you had flowers 
       F            C
and a warm summer breeze
                              F              C
Is where I want to be in the early mountain dew
                 G        F      C
Where big city lights are oh so few 


CHORUS:
 Am          G              F          C
Back to the land where the water runs free
 Am            G         F             C
Back in those hills is where I want to be
Am       G     F              C
Oh dear Lord please take me there
Am          G            F          C
Oh let me breathe your sweet fresh air 


CHORUS:
 Am          G              F          C
Back to the land where the water runs free
 Am            G         F             C
Back in those hills is where I want to be
Am       G     F              C
Oh dear Lord please take me there
Am          G            F          C
Oh let me breathe your sweet fresh air
