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
