Tom: C
C Am7
You ought to go north somebody told us
F C
Cause the air is filled with gold dust
Am7 F C
And fortune falls like snow flakes in your hands
Am7
Now I don't recall who said it
F Em
But we'd lived so long on credit
F G C
And so we headed out to find our promised land
Am7
Just poor Smoky Mountains farm folk
F C
With nothing more than high hopes
Am7 F C
So we hitched our station wagon to a star
Am7
But our dreams are failing on us
F Em
Cause there was no land of promise
F G C
Though it's a struggle just keepin' sight of who you are
Am7 Em
Oh and these northern nights are dreary
F Em
And my southern heart is weary
F Dm Cmaj7
As I wonder how the old folks are back home
Am7 Em
But I know that they all love me
F Em7
And they're all thinking of me
F Dm7 C
Smoky Mountains memories keep me strong
Am7
You know I've been thinkin' a whole lot lately
F C
About what's been and what awaits me
Am7 F C
It takes all I've got to give what life demands
Am7
You go insane if you give in to it
F Em
Life's a mill and I've been through it
F G C
I'm just thankful I'm creative with my hands
Am7 Em
Oh and these northern nights they're dreary
F Em
And my southern eyes are teary
F Dm Cmaj7
As I wonder how the old folks are back home
Am7 Em
But I'll keep leanin' on my Jesus
F Em
He'll love and guide and lead us
F Dm7 C
Smoky Mountains memories keep me strong
Am7 Em
If I'll keep looking to the father
F Em F
Keep our heads above the water
Dm7 G C
While the Smoky Mountains memories keep me strong
