Intro
[G] [C] [G] [D]

[G]Back in the days of my [C]childhood
In the [G]evening when everything was [D]still
[G]I used to sit and listen to the [C]fox hounds
[G]with my dad in [D]them old Kentucky [G]hills

[G]I'm on my way back to the [C]old home
[G]the road winds on up the [D]hill
[G]and there's alikght in the [C]windows
[G] that shines on the [D]road where I [G]live

turnaround - one verse

[G]soon my childhood days were [C]over
[G]I had to leave my [D]home
[G]mother and dad were called to [C]heaven
[G]I'm left in the [D]world all [G]alone

[G]I'm on my way back to the [C]old home
[G]the road winds on up the [D]hill
[G]and there's alikght in the [C]windows
[G] that shines on the [D]road where I [G]live

turnaround - one verse

[G]high in the hills of old [C]Kentucky
[G]stands the fondest spot that's in my memo[D]ry
[D]I'm on my way back to the [C]old home
[G]the light in the [D]window I long to [G]see

[G]I'm on my way back to the [C]old home
[G]the road winds on up the [D]hill
[G]and there's alikght in the [C]windows
[G] that shines on the [D]road where I [G]live

[G]I'm on my way back to the [C]old home
[G]the road winds on up the [D]hill
[G]and there's alikght in the [C]windows
