Verse 1

          G                       C
There's a well beaten path in the old mountainside
        D                     G
Where I wandered when I was a lad
      G                     C
And I wandered alone to the place I call home
         D                    G
In those Blue Ridge hills far away

Chorus

     G                          C
Oh I love those hills of old Virginia
           D                      G
From those Blue Ridge hills I did roam
       G                            C
When I die won't you bury me on the mountain
     D                               G
Far away near my Blue Ridge mountain home

Verse 3

       G                            C
Now my thoughts wander back to that ramshackle shack
         D                    G
In those Blue Ridge hills far away
         G                   C
Where my mother and dad were laid there to rest
         D                          G
They are sleeping in peace together there

Chorus

     G                          C
Oh I love those hills of old Virginia
           D                      G
From those Blue Ridge hills I did roam
       G                            C
When I die won't you bury me on the mountain
     D                               G
Far away near my Blue Ridge mountain home

Verse 4

    G                                    C
I return to that old cabin home with the sigh
          D                     G
I've been longing for days gone by
       G                             C
When I die won't you bury me on that old mountain side
        D                               G
Make my resting place upon the hills so high

Chorus

     G                          C
Oh I love those hills of old Virginia
           D                      G
From those Blue Ridge hills I did roam
       G                            C
When I die won't you bury me on the mountain
     D                               G
Far away near my Blue Ridge mountain home

Chorus

     G                          C
Oh I love those hills of old Virginia
           D                      G
From those Blue Ridge hills I did roam
       G                            C
When I die won't you bury me on the mountain
     D                               G
Far away near my Blue Ridge mountain home
