Blue Ridge Mountains turning green

         D7                   G
Wanna go home again to see my mountain friends

      C    D7          G
Springtime opens up my heart

         D7                          G
Makes me want to share that good old mountain air



C         D7
Life's so young and free for all

          C              D7
For those who answer the Blue Ridge Mountain call

G    C     D7                G
Blue Ridge Mountains turning green

           D7                   G
I wanna go home again to see my mountain friends



    C    D7                 G
Sun-rise drinks the morning dew

           D7                        G
Walking on new plowed ground distant cowbells sound

     C     D7              G
Tall trees reach the misty blue

          D7                                G
All their leaves are green the shadows on a mountain stream



C           D7
Dogwood and mountain laurel bloom

          C       D7
A welcome mat for nature's living room

G    C     D7                G
Blue Ridge Mountains turning green

         D7                   G
Wanna go home again to see my mountain friends



      C    D7             G
Night-time gathers in the crowd

              D7                     G
Listen to the children sing hear the banjos ring

     C     D7             G
Blue Ridge Mountain music sound

           D7                        G
Comes from lonely hill the song of a whippoorwill



C        D7
Old time fiddles that I hear

            C         D7
Playing the tune that I love so dear

G    C     D7                G
Blue Ridge Mountains calling me

           D7                   G
I wanna go home again to see my mountain friends
