I was so young I barely remember
F
G7
C
When dad told my brothers and me
F
C
I can´t make a living down here anymore
D7
G7
So we´re moving up north to the city

All daddy wanted was a good job
F
G7

To give us a life he´d never known
F

But I knew in his heart he wasn´t happy
G7
C
He sure missed our old family home
F
C
Where the mountains reach halfway to heaven
G7
C
And the air is so sweet and so clean
F
C
Where the wild flowers cover the meadows
G7
C
And the hillsides are ten shades of green
G7

Now daddy worked hard for a living
F
G7
C
And the years finally took him away
F
C
But I made up my mind the day that he died
D7
G7
My life wouldn´t end up that way
C
G7
C
So I´m back to heading back to old Kentucky
F
G7
C
To give my kids a life I´d once known
F
C
Life´s just to short to be unhappy
G7
C
We´re going back to my old family home
F
C
Where the mountains reach halfway to heaven
G7
C
And the air is so sweet and so clean
F
C
Where the wild flowers cover the meadows
G7
C
And the hillsides are ten shades of green
F
C
Where the mountains reach halfway to heaven
G7
C
And the air is so sweet and so clean
F
C
Where the wild flowers cover the meadows
G7
C
And the hillsides are ten shades of green
G7

And the hillsides are ten shades of green
