*Capo 3rd Fret (Perform in Key of Bb5 )
G5 B5 C5 G5
It's been ten long years since I left my home
D5
In the hollow where I was born
G5 B5 C5 G5
Where the cool fall nights make the wood smoke rise,
D5 G5
And a fox hunter blows his horn.
G5 B5 C5 G5
I fell in love with a girl from the town
D5
I thought that she would be true
G5 B5 C5 G5
I ran away to Charlottesville
D5 G5
And worked in a sawmill or two
(Chorus)
D5 G5
What have they done to the old home place
A5 D5
Why did they tear it down
G5 B5 C5 G5
And why did I leave the plow in the field
D5 G5
And look for a job in the town
(Mandolin Solo Chords)
G5 B5 C5 G5 G5 G5 D5 D5 G5 B5 C5 G5 G5 D5 G5 G5 G5 G5
G5 B5 C5 G5
Well the girl ran off with somebody else
D5
The taverns took all my pay
G5 B5 C5 G5
And here I stand where the old home stood
D5 G5
Before they took it away
B5 C5 G5
Now the geese fly south and the cold wind moans
D5
As I stand here and hang my head
G5 B5 C5 G5
I've lost my love I've lost my home
D5 G5
And now I wish that I was dead
D5 G5
What have they done to the old home place
A5 D5
Why did they tear it down
G5 B5 C5 G5
And why did I leave the plow in the field
D5 G5
And look for a job in the town
(Guitar Solo Chords) (Dobro Solo Chords)
G5 B5 C5 G5 G5 G5 D5 D5 G5 B5 C5 G5 G5 D5 G5 G5 G5 G5
D5 G5
What have they done to the old home place
A5 D5
Why did they tear it down
G5 B5 C5 G5
And why did I leave the plow in the field
D5 G5
And look for a job in the town.
