[Verse 1]
G                         C            G
Cold on the mountain when winter comes on
G                                 D
Dew in the morning is sprinkled alone
C                                G           C
The road down to Nashville’s like crystal and stone
G                                   C   C
Leavin’ Kentucky and I’m goin’ back home


[Verse 1]
Am                        G
God knows I loved him too much I can see
Am                           G
Much more than he could have ever loved me
C                         G          Em
If I was the last girl in East Tennessee

[Verse 2]
G                        C              G
 Lord I’m just one girl, I wish I were three
G                   D
Take a 44 pistol to me
    C               G           C
Put one in my brain for his memory
G                          D           C   C
One more for my heart, and then I‘d be free


[Chorus]
     Am                        G
It’s cold on the mountain when winter comes on
Am                        G
The dew in the morning is sprinkled alone
C                                 G             C
The road down to Nashville’s like crystal and stone
G                        D          C    C
Leavin’ Kentucky and I’m goin’ back home

Yes, I'm leavin’ Kentucky and I’m goin’ back home

Ooh, hoo
