Tom: Em
Em B7 C D G
[Verse 1]
D C G
Been up and down this lonesome highway
D G
Coast to coast and back again
D C G
I just had to do things my way
Am D B7
Had to go against the wind
[Chorus]
Em B7
Cause I’ve been dreaming of the girl I left behind
C G
Lord she had the truest heart I’ve ever known
Em B7
And I’ve been looking for a world I’ll never find
C D G
Ever since I left my East Kentucky Home
[Solo 1]
Em B7
C G
Em B7
C D G
[Verse 2]
D C G
I can smell the wood smoke risin'
D G
feel the wind out in the pines
D C G
See the way I left her cryin'
Am D B7
Every time I close my eyes
[Chorus]
Em B7
Cause I’ve been dreaming of the girl I left behind
C G
Lord she had the truest heart I’ve ever known
Em B7
And I’ve been looking for a world I’ll never find
C D G
Ever since I left my East Kentucky Home
[Solo 2]
Em B7
C G
Em B7
C D G
[Verse 3]
D C G
Think I’ll get up with the sunrise,
D G
Think I’ll pack my things and go
D C G
It's taken me this long to realize
Am D B7
The only thing I need to know
[Chorus]
Em B7
Cause I’ve been dreaming of the girl I left behind
C G
Lord she had the truest heart I’ve ever known
Em B7
And I’ve been looking for a world I’ll never find
C D G
Ever since I left my East Kentucky Home
C D G
Ever since I left my East Kentucky Home
[Outro]
Em B7
