Back To The Old Home

Traditional

Key of G · Chords: I IV V

Verse 1

G                      C
Back in the days of my childhood
G                                  D
In the evening when everything was still
G                               C
I used to sit and listen to the foxhounds
G                  D            G
With my dad in the old Kentucky hills

Chorus

G                         C
I’m on my way back to the old home
G                        D
The road winds on up the hill
G                           C
But there’s no light in the window
G                 D          G
That shined long ago where I live

Verse 2

G                           C
Soon my childhood days were over
G                     D
I had to leave my old home
G                                 C
For dad and mother were called to heaven
G                D          G
I’s left in this world all alone

(Chorus)

Verse 3

G                           C
High in the hills of old Kentucky
G                                 D
Stands the fondest spot in my memory
G                         C
I’m on my way back to the old home
G                D                G
The light in the window I long to see
