Chords with lyrics
C majorC FF C majorC G7G7 C majorC
I'm a western North Carolinian made of stone and red clay soil
FF C majorC G7G7 C majorC
Got Cherokee blood deep within me when I was born it began to boil
G7G7 C majorC G7G7
I left my home across the mountains to see what kind of life I'd find
C majorC FF C majorC G7G7 C majorC
Searched the world in all directions to try to cool this restless mind
FF C majorC G7G7 C majorC
Found myself on a lonesome journey the streets of gold I tried to find
The Indian spirit softly whispered
FF C majorC G7G7 C majorC
And cooled the blood of the restless mind
G7G7 C majorC
I'm going back to the Smokey Mountains
G7G7
And breathe the air that fed my soul
C majorC
I?ll bury me deep in the leaves of history
FF C majorC G7G7 C majorC
And there I'll find my streets of gold
FF C majorC G7G7 C majorC
I'm a western North Carolinian made of stone and red clay soil
FF C majorC G7G7 C majorC
