Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Capo 3rd Fret

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

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

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

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

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

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