On Top Of Old Smokey Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]On [A]top[D] of old Smoky,[G]
all [D]covered with [A]snow,
[D]I lost my true lov[A]er,[D][A]
come [D]a -courtin' too slow.
For a courtin' is a [G]pleasure,
And a partin' [D]is a [A]grieve.[D]
But a false -hearted [A]lover
Is worse than [D]a thief,
For a thief will just [G]rob you
And take [D]what you say.
But a false -hearted lov[A]er
Will lead you to your [D]grave,
And the grave will decay [G]you
And turn you [D]to dust.
Not one girl in [A]a million,
A poor boy can [D]trust.
They'll hug you, they'll [G]kiss you,
And they'll tell [D]you more lies
Than the cross -ties on [A]a railroad,
[D]Or [A]the stars in [D]the sky.
So, come all ye fel[F#]las,[G]
come and listen to [D]me,
Never place your affec[A]tions
on a green [G]willow [D]tree,
For the leaves they will wither[G],
and the roots
[D]They will die, and you'll all be for[A]saken,
And never know [D]why.
On top of Old [G]Smoky, all [D]covered with snow,
I lost my true lov[A]er,
Come a -courtin' too [D]slow.
[G][D][A][D]
