Intro 1

Verse 1
G 
In a shingle covered
C 
cottage at the foothills of blue stacks
G 
Near a mountain stream that's
D 
G 
flowing crystal clear
Where the humming birds and honey
C 
bees feed on Mama's roses
G 
D 
My mem'ries just grow sweeter
G 
with the years
Mem'ries of my childhood are as
C 
sweet as mountain honey
G 
D 
G 
And as fresh as a dew on morning glory vines
I grew up surrounded by the sight
C 
s and sounds of nature
G 
D 
And they're forever present in my mind
G

Teardrops mingled with the summer

rain that was a falling

G 
D 
I was following a dream I had to find

In that shingled covered cottage at
C 
the foothills of the smokies
G 
D

Waits a family hat I'm longing to see
And mountain streams and fields of green
C 
And rolling hills stay in my dreams
G 
But I'm many,
D 
G 
many miles from Tennessee

Verse 5
C

And still headed in the wrong

Headed in the wrong direction home
