Blue Ridge Mountain Song

G C G C Em

[Verse 1]

G                      C                       G
Met her in the fall of 93  in the hills of Tennessee
                   C                              Em
She was barely seventeen  He was tall and strong and lean
                          C        Em                                
They were deep in love by June    Hand in hand beneath that moon
   D


[Chorus]

          G                               C
And she'd     sing a little blue ridge mountain song
                   G                              C
And he'd just hum along.  They'd dance all night til dawn
                   Em                                C
On a hillside all alone,  they were young and they were free
                    Em                      C
Like a mountain melody  True lovers they could be
D                     G
Singin' that blue ridge song.

[Verse 2]

G                            C                               G
Married in her momma's wedding gown,  bought a house and settled down
                    C                               Em
He was drivin' all around,  haulin' logs from town to town
                         C
And he'd come home every night,
         Em                     D
She'd be waiting in the front porch light

[Chorus]

           G                               C
And she'd     sing a little blue ridge mountain song
                   G                              C
And he'd just hum along.  They'd dance all night til dawn
                   Em                                C
On a hillside all alone,  they were young and they were free
                    Em                      C
Like a mountain melody  True lovers they could be
D                     G
Singin' that blue ridge song.

[Verse 3]

G                               C                       G
They couldn't tell him what was wrong. They just didn't know.
                C                          Em
It wasn't very  long, til Jesus called her home
                        C
Then he got down on his knees,
Em                          C         D
God don't take my love from me,       Just let her

[Chorus]

G                                 C
sing a little blue ridge mountain song
                   G
Like she has all along.
                        C                        Em
I’ll dance with her til dawn, On a hillside all alone
                      C                       Em
And we'll spend eternity, like a mountain melody
                  C
In love as we can be
D                       G
singin' that blue ridge song

[Verse 4]

G                        C                                 G
Now he lives there all alone,  in the house that they called home

                          C                              Em
In his heart there lies a void,  from the absence of her voice
                        C
And he lays down every night,

[Chorus]

Em                              C     D
And dreams about that front porch light
          G                                      C
Where she'd    sing a little blue ridge mountain song.
                    G                              C
And he'd just hum along,  they'd dance all night til dawn
                    Em                                    C
On the hillside all alone.  They were young and they were free
                   Em                        C
Like a mountain melody,   In love as they could be-e
D                      G     C
Makin' that blue ridge song.
Little blue ridge mountain song
Sing a little blue ridge mountain song
