Capo 3rd Fret

Verse:
G+G           C majorC
Back in the days of my childhood
    G+G              D MajorD
In the evening when everything was still
 G+G               C majorC
I used to sit and listen to the fox hounds
    G+G     D MajorD      G+G
With my dad in the old Kentucky hills

Verse:
G+G           C majorC
I'm on my way back to the old home

The road winds on up the hill
 G+G               C majorC
But there's no light in the window
    G+G     D MajorD      G+G
That shined long ago where I lived

Verse:
G+G           C majorC
Soon my childhood days were over
    G+G              D MajorD
I had to leave my old home
G+G           C majorC
For my dad and mom were called to heaven
    G+G     D MajorD      G+G
I was left in this world all alone

Verse:
G+G           C majorC
High in the hills of old Kentucky
    G+G              D MajorD
Stands the fondest spot in my memory
 G+G               C majorC
I’m on my way back to the old home
    G+G     D MajorD      G+G
The light in the window I long to see

Verse:
G+G           C majorC
I'm on my way back to the old home
    G+G              D MajorD
The road winds on up the hill
 G+G               C majorC
But there's no light in the window
    G+G     D MajorD      G+G
That shined long ago where I lived
