G       D       A   A7   D


[Verse]
D       A7            D
I was a wild careless youngster
D       A7            D
Longing to roam from the start
D         A7         D
I left my home in the mountains
A          A7             D
I broke my poor darling's heart


[Chorus]
   G                    D
So carry me back to the mountains
A            A7       D
 Beneath the southern sky
G                     D
Lay me to rest in the mountains
A               A7         D
That's where my sweetheart lies


[Bridge]
A7                     D
 I get so lonesome and weary
E         E7      A
No matter where I roam


[Chorus]
   G                    D
So carry me back to the mountains
A           A7         D
 Back to my home sweet home


[Instrumental]
G       D       A   A7   D
G       D       A   A7   D
A   A7  D       E7       A
G       D       A   A7   D


[Bridge]
A7                     D
 I get so lonesome and weary
E         E7      A
No matter where I roam


[Chorus]
   G                    D
So carry me back to the mountains
A           A7         D  A7  D
 Back to my home sweet home
