Verse:
G                      D                       G
Well now living in the Holler keeps me feeling free
                               C                  G
Keeps my hopes a flying like a little bitty chickadee
                  D                              G
I’ve seen days of trouble, and I’ve seen days of toil
                                C           G
But it all feels better on that Appalachian soil

Chorus:
G       D          G
O Lordy Me O Lordy My
                                      C              G
Rest my soul in the country when it’s time for me to die
G       D          G
O Lordy Me O Lordy My
                              C                     G
Great God Almighty, I’m gonna sprout some wings and fly

Verse 2:
G                     D                      G
Yes, and I hear banjo music ringing from the grove
                       C               G
I smell mamas cooking, coming from the stove
                      D                                   G
That old fresh spring water lord, It’s the best I’ve ever seen
                                     C                G
It’ll purify your hearts boys, it’ll wash your spirit clean

Chorus:
G       D          G
O Lordy Me O Lordy My
                                      C              G
Rest my soul in the country when it’s time for me to die
G       D          G
O Lordy Me O Lordy My
                              C                     G
Great God Almighty, I’m gonna sprout some wings and fly

Verse 3:
G             D                     G
When I got no money, I still got my pride
                                  C                G
I live back in the country honey, in these hills I hide
                       D                        G
Ain’t nothing like the quiet of the mountain at night
                                       C                  G
Ain’t nothing like the splendor of the blue ridge morning sky

Chorus:
G       D          G
O Lordy Me O Lordy My
                                      C              G
Rest my soul in the country when it’s time for me to die
G       D          G
O Lordy Me O Lordy My
                              C                     G
Great God Almighty, I’m gonna sprout some wings and fly

Verse 4:
G                                D                       G
Yes, and there’s people from all over they keep fighting everyday
                                              C                   G
Wish they would put down all those rifles and pick up a fiddle to play
                          D                                    G
Cause a fiddle never hurt nobody, and it’ll play a sweet sweet tune
                                                 C              G
And we can pick them together in harmony howling under the same moon
