Key: A

Intro:

A D  A F#m
I-IV-I-vi

Verse 1:
A
I left home for to see my sister
D
She’s tearing up floors with a brand new mister
A                           F#m
My Mabel says she remains unchanged
A
But here I am standing in this wood-floored mansion
D

Our sugar mill home feels like a phantom
    A                                 F#m
And I can’t find the light behind her face

Verse 2:
A
Well I brought my dip like I always do
             D
Thought we’d sit on the porch like we used to
A                                       F#m
But Mabel says that stuff she’s all but stopped
A
She puts on her dress for the dance that evening
D
We take a motor down to the legion
A                                      F#m
But she found all that snuff inside my sock

Chorus:
F#m           A
So, I’m goin’ home
              D   A
To the Boston Mountains
      D
Gonna see what stands
A                    F#m
From every seed I’ve sewn
            A             D A
And I ain’t for that city livin’
             D            A                F#m
There’s just one piece of land I’m calling home
F#m
I ain’t made to roam
      D                  E
Goin’ back to the Boston Mountains
      A
Goin’ home

Verse 3:
A
Well, sometimes I sit ‘neath the dogwood tree
    D
And dream about all I could be
   A                                    F#m
If I really turned my back on these old hills
A
Then my mind rewinds to Mabel’s face
D
She’s got all that money and poise and grace
      A
And I think of all those things
            F#m
I’ve had my fill
A
This place is where I’m made to be
D
Til my bones are ash beneath this tree
   A                             F#m
My Maker’s got my mansion in the sky
A
But I know when I walk those streets of gold
   D
My soul will miss my mountain home
A                                    F#m
And that sock which contains my only vice

Chorus:
F#m           A
So, I’m goin’ home
              D   A
To the Boston Mountains
      D
Gonna see what stands
A                    F#m
From every seed I’ve sewn
            A             D A
And I ain’t for that city livin’
             D            A                F#m
There’s just one piece of land I’m calling home
F#m
I ain’t made to roam
      D                  E
Goin’ back to the Boston Mountains
      A
Goin’ home

A                    F#m
From every seed I’ve sewn
            A             D A
And I ain’t for that city livin’
