Verse 1
(E major) From a shack by a mountain stream
To a room (E major) in (A major) New Orleans
(E major) So far from my Blue
Ridge Mountain home
The (B major) men (E major) I meet ain't
warm and friendly
Like the one in old Virginia
They ain't real like my Blue
Ridge Mountain boys
I was just a little past eighteen
when I came to (A major) New Orleans. (E major)
I'd never been beyond my
home to stay alive. (B major) (F sharp major)
There (B major) was (E major) a boy who loved me dearly,
but I broke his (A major) heart severely (E major)
when I left my (A major) Blue (B major) Ridge Moun (E major) tain
boy. (A major) (G major) (A flat major) (E flat major) (D major) (A major)
And I know (A major) the city
life's (A major) more my style
But (E major) nights keep blowing,
waiting for you
And it's easy (E major) to (A major) go (E major) wrong
The man ain't kind
Like my blue ridge (G major) mountain (F major) boy

Verse 2
New Orleans (G major) held thing (F sharp major) s in store
(G major) Things I'd (F sharp major) nev (G major) er (C major) bargained (F sharp major) for
Every night (G major) (F sharp major) a different man
knocks on my (C sharp major) door
(D major) Oh, but (G major) late at night when all is still
How can you wait (C major) for (G major) me as (F sharp major) (G major) I cry
For (C sharp major) my blue ridge mountain (G major) boy
Oh, but I can't (C major) ever go (G major) back home (C major)
Since (G major) the (A major) boy I (E major) love is (C major) gone
He (G major) grew (C major) tired (G major) of waiting
for (C major) me (G major) to return home
They say he married last Octo (F sharp major) ber (G major)
But (D major) I (G major) never will (C major) get (G major) over
Oh, the sweet love of (C sharp major) my Blue
Ridge Mountain (G major) boy (D major) (G major)
Oh, (F sharp major) the sweet (G major) (F sharp major) love (G major) of my (D major) Blue
Ridge Mountain (F major) boy. (C major) (G major) (F sharp major)
Oh...
My Blue Ridge Mountain Boy
