Smoky Mountain Memories Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

G You ought to Em7go north somebody told us

Cause the Cair is filled with gGold dust

And Em7fortune falls like sCnow flakes in your hGands

Now I dEm7on't recall who said it

But we'd Clived so long on cBmredit

And so we Cheaded out to Dfind our promised lGand

Just poor SEm7moky Mountains farm folk

With noCthing more than hGigh hopes

So we hiEm7tched our station wCagon to a sGtar

But our Em7dreams are failing on us

Cause there Cwas no land of prBmomise

Though it's a sCtruggle just kDeepin' sight of who Gyou are

Oh and these nEm7orthern nights are dBmreary

And my Csouthern heart is Bmweary

As I woCnder how the oAmld folks are back hG7Mome

But I kEm7now that they all lBmove me

And they'reC all thinking of Bm7me

C Smoky Mountains mAm7emories keep me strGong

You know I've beeEm7n thinkin' a whole lot lately

About what's Cbeen and what aGwaits me

It takes Em7all I've got to givCe what life demGands

You go inEm7sane if you give in to it

Life's a Cmill and I've been tBmhrough it

I'm just tChankful I'm creaDtive with my hGands

Oh and these nEm7orthern nights they'reBm dreary

And my Csouthern eyes are Bmteary

As I woCnder how the oAmld folks are back hG7Mome

But I'll keep Em7leanin' on my JBmesus

He'll loCve and guide and Bmlead us

C Smoky Mountains mAm7emories keep me strGong

If I'll keep lEm7ooking to the fBmather

KeepC our heads abovBme the water C

While the Smoky MAm7ountains memoriesD keep me strGong
