Verse 1

C                                 F                  C
There ain’t much that’s left here that ain’t all run down
                       D7           G7
Gone are the echoes of old familiar sound
C                      F          C
Families are scattered parted and gone
                             G7               C
Left a lot of good things to wither away back home

Verse 2

Can’t you feel  those hills around you
          G7                 C
Can’t you feel that touch of home
                    F           C
And don’t you wish  you’d never gone
                               G7          C
There are some things memories can’t bring home

Verse 3

               F        C
Hills of home  hills of home
                   G7      C
Families scattered off and gone
                F                     C
These old hills that have been passed by
                                         G7       C
Well they’ve seen their share of leaving in their time

Verse 4

                             F                 C
Old familiar dirt roads wind through the piney glade
                         D7                    G7
Where all the longing of childhood dreams were made
C                                F                     C
Where we passed the mossy mounds where I could run and play
                              G7               C
Never a care to cross my mind all the livelong day

Verse 2

                F           C
Can’t you feel  those hills around you
          G7                 C
Can’t you feel that touch of home
                    F           C
And don’t you wish  you’d never gone
                               G7          C
There are some things memories can’t bring home

Verse 5

                                        G7       C
Yes they’ve seen their share of leaving in their time
