Eight More Miles To Louisville Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C][F][G][C]

[Verse 1]
I've [C]traveled o 'er this country [G]wide a -seekin' fortune fair
[C]I've been down the two coastlines, I've traveled everywhe[G]re
From
[F]Portland east to
[C]Portland west and back across [G]the line I'm a [C]-goin' [G]now to a [C]place that's [F]best,
that [C]old homet[G]own of [C]mine
Eight more miles and
Louisville will [F]come into my [C]view
Eight more miles on this old road
and I'll [D]never more be [G]blue
I [F]knew someday that [C]I'd come back,
I knew it from the [G]start
[C]Eight more [G]miles to
[C]Louis[F]ville, [G]the hometown of my [C]heart[F]
[C][D][G][F][C]
[G][C][G][F][G][C]
There's sure to be a gal somewhere
[F]that [G]you'd like best of [C]all
Now mine lives down in
Louisville, she's long and she is [G]tall
But [F]she's the kind that you can[C]'t
find a -ramblin' [G]through the land
I'm [C]on my way this very [F]day
to [C]win her [G]heart in [C]hand
Eight more miles and
Louisville will [F]come into my [C]view
Eight more miles on this old road
and I'll [D]never more be [G]blue
I [F]knew someday that [C]I'd come back,
I knew it from the [G]start
[C]Eight more [G]miles to
[C]Louis[F]ville, the [G]hometown of
my [C]heart[G][C][F][G][C]
Now I can picture in my mind [G]a
place we'll call our home
[C]A humble little cot partout
we'll never want to [G]roam
The [F]place that's right for that love
[C]site is in those bluegrass [G]hills
Where [C]gently [G]flows the
Ohio [F]by a [G]place called
Louisville
[C]Eight more miles in
Louisville will [F]come into my [C]view
Ain't more miles on this old road
and I'll [D]never more be [G]blue
I [F]knew someday that [C]I'd come back,
I knew it from the [G]start
[C]Ain't more miles to
Louis[F]ville, [G]the hometown of my [C]heart
