|D MajorD |G+G |D MajorD |D MajorD |D MajorD |A augmentedA |D MajorD |D MajorD |

Verse 1:
 D MajorD      G+G         D MajorD
I left my old home back in the mountains
  D MajorD             A augmentedA
For many long years I roamed around
   D MajorD      G+G       D MajorD
I can hear that lonesome whistle blowin'
  D MajorD     A augmentedA        D MajorD
I'm going back there to settle down

Chorus:
 G+G          D MajorD
I love those Carolina mountains
    D MajorD         A augmentedA
And the little girl I left behind
   D MajorD     G+G    D MajorD
But I know I'll never forget her
  D MajorD   A augmentedA        D MajorD
Oh, how I long to make her mine

Verse 2:
 D MajorD       G+G     D MajorD
I looked out my window and wondered
  D MajorD             A augmentedA
If everything there looks the same
   D MajorD    G+G       D MajorD
I can see the blue eyes of my darlin'
  D MajorD     A augmentedA          D MajorD
I'm going back there to change her name

Chorus:
 G+G          D MajorD
I love those Carolina mountains
    D MajorD         A augmentedA
And the little girl I left behind
   D MajorD     G+G    D MajorD
But I know I'll never forget her
  D MajorD   A augmentedA        D MajorD
Oh, how I long to make her mine
