Tuning: E A D G B E

[Intro] G D D G x2 [Verse 1]

^GWhen I was young and in my^D prime, I left my home in Car^Goline. Now all I do is sit and^D pine, for all those folks I left b^Gehind.

[Chorus]

I got the^G blue ridge mountain^D blues, and I sat right here to^G say, my grip is packed to travel and I'm^C back to ramble to my^D blue ridge far^G away.

[Instrumental] G D D G x2 [Verse 2]

^GI'm goin' to stay right by my^D pa, I'm goin' to do right by my^G ma, I'll hang around the cabin^D door, no work or worry an^Gymore.

[Chorus]

I got the^G blue ridge mountain^D blues, goin' to see my old oak^G tree, Gonna hunt the possum where the^C corn cob blossom in my^D blue ridge far^G away.

[Instrumental] G D D G x2 [Verse 3]

^GI see a haze of snowy^D white, I see a window with^G light, I seem to hear them both^D sigh, where is my wand'rin boy ^Gtonight?

[Chorus]

I got the^G blue ridge mountain^D blues, and I stay right here to^G say, every day I'm countin' 'til I^C climb that mountain in my^D blue ridge far^G away. "
