Tom: E

         E
Take me back take me back to my old mountain home
         A                    E
Take me back where my heart longs to be

Where we played by the brook in the cool shady nook
          B7
In the mountains of Tennessee

[Verse 2]
       E
In my old mountain home where the wild roses bloom
       A                      E
Is a spot just like heaven to me
         A                       E
Take me back take me back to my old mountain home
          B7          E
In the mountains of Tennessee

[Verse 3]
         E
Take me back take me back to my old mountain home
         A                       E
Take me back to my old mothers knee

Where the stars shine bright and the birds are free
          B7
In the mountains of Tennessee

[Verse 4]
          E
Round my old mountain home where I used to roam
         A                  E
Their waiting a welcome for me
         A                   E
Take me back to my old log cabin home
         B7           E
In the mountains of Tennessee
