[C][Em][C][Em][D][Em][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]You ought
to [Em]go north somebody told us
Cause the [C]air is filled with [G]gold dust
And [Em]fortune falls like [C]snow
flakes in your [G]hands
Now I [Em]don't recall who said it
But [C]we'd lived so long on credit
An[G]d so we h[C]eaded out to f[G]ind
our [D]promised land
[G][C]

[Verse 2]
[G]
Just [D]poor [Em]Smoky Mountains farm folk
With [C]nothing more than [G]high hopes
So we [Em]hitched our station
[C]wagon to a [G]star
But our [Em]dreams all fell in on us
Cause there [C]was no land [G]of promise
Though [C]it's a stuggle just keepin'
[G]sight [D]of who you[G] are[C][G]

[Verse 3]
Oh and these [Em]northern nights [D]are dreary
And my [C]southern heart [G]is weary
As I [Em]wonder [C]how the old
folks [G]are back home
But I [Em]know that they all [D]love me
[C]And they're all thinking
of [G]me[C]
The Smoky Mountains [G]memor
[D]ies keep [G]me [C]strong[Am]

[Verse 4]
[G]You[D] know I've been think
[Em]in' a whole lot lately
About what's [C]been and
what [G]awaits me
It takes [Em]all I've got to g[C]ive
what life de[G]mands
You go [Em]insane if you give in to it
Life's [C]a mill and I've been [G]through it
I'm just [C]thankful I'm cre[G]ative
[D]with my [G]han[C]ds[G]
[D]Oh and [G]these

[Verse 5]
[Em]northern
nights they're [D]dreary
[C]And my southern eyes are [G]teary
As I [Em]wonder how the [C]old
folks are [G]back home
But I'll keep [Em]leanin' on my [D]Jesus
[C]He'll love and guide an[G]d lead us
[C]The Smoky Mountains mem[G]ories
[D]kee[G]p me str[C]ong[G]

[Verse 6]
If I'll keep [Em]looking to the [D]father
Keep our [C]heads above [G]the water[C]
While the [C]Smoky [G]Mountains [D]memor[G] ies
[D]keep me strong
