I ^D left my old ^G home back in the m ^D ountains
For ^D many long years I roamed ar ^A ound
I can ^D hear that lo ^G nesome whistle ^D blowin'
I'm ^D going back ^A there to settle ^D down
CHORUS
I ^G love those Carolina ^D mountains
And the ^D little girl I left ^A behind
But I ^D know I'll ^G never for ^D get her
Oh, ^D how I l ^A ong to make her ^D mine
VERSE 2
I ^D looked out my ^G window and ^D wondered
If e ^D verything there looks the ^A same
I can ^D see the b ^G lue eyes of my ^D darlin'
I'm ^D going back ^A there to change her ^D name
CHORUS
I ^G love those Carolina ^D mountains
And the ^D little girl I left ^A behind
But I ^D know I'll ^G never for ^D get her
Oh, ^D how I l ^A ong to make her ^D mine
