Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][G][C][D][C][G][C][D]
[G]

[Verse 1]
I woke up this [C]morning
to the hum[D]min' of the en[G]gines
Haulin' nature's [C]finest from
the [D]Gulf of [G]Mexico
Riding this [C]ol' river is peace
[D]ful but it's lonesome
[G]And it makes me wonder[C] how
the old [D]folks are at [G]home

[Verse 2]
Now [G]the years have blown [C]by me like
[D]the wind through the [G]pines
But [C]the song of [G]the south is ever
[D]sweet [G]as homemade wine
Oh, how I miss [C]those mountains
when the [D]laurels are in [Em]bloom[G]
And [C]the southern stars are dan[G]cin' 'round
[C]the North [D]Carolin[G]a moon

[Interlude 1]
[G][C][D][G][C][D][G]

[Verse 3]
Just rolled through Mem[C]phis,
I could [D]hear them [G]guitars palyin'
They had the [C]blues so so bad
it al[D]most broke my [G]heart
But it don't sound [C]nothing like
[D]a band of tree frogs [G]singin'
When every [C]now and then they get
in [D]tune with grandpa's [G]harp
[D]Now the years

[Verse 4]
[G]have blo[C]wn by me
like [D]the wind through the [G]pines
But [C]the song of [G]the south is ever
[D]sweet as [G]homemade wine
Oh, how I miss those [C]mountains
when the [D]laurels are in [Em]bloom
[Bm]And th[G]e so[C]uthern stars are dancin' '[G]round the North
[D]Caro[G]lina moon

[Interlude 2]
[G][Em][D][C][G][C][G][D]
[Em][C][D][G][C][Am]
[D]

[Verse 5]
[G]Now when I die[C] boys,
[D]make me this pro[G]mise
You'll send my [C]body back up
[D]North Carolina [G]way
I don't want no [C]tombstone,
just [D]lay me next [G]to mama
And let the hon[C]eysuckle grow
[D]wild upon my [G]grave
[D]Now the years

[Verse 6]
[G]have blown by [C]me
like the [D]wind through the [G]pines
But [C]the song of [G]the south is
ever [D]sweet as [G]homemade wine
[D]Oh, how[G] I miss tho[C]se mountains
when the [D]laurels are in [Em]bloom[G]
And [C]the southern stars are dan[G]cin' 'round
the [D]North Carolin[G]a moon
[Em]

[Verse 7]
[Bm]Yeah[C], the southern stars are dancin'[G]
'round [D]the North Carolina [G]moon[C][D]
[G]North Carolina [C]moon[D][G]
[C]Ooh, [D]ooh[G], o[C]oh,[D][G]
[C]oo [D]h[G]
