a down-stroke. This will help if you are playing along with the recording.
Intro: (A)//// (D)//// (A)//// //// //// (E)//// (A)//// //// //// ////
(A) I wonder if it's (D) rainin' in the (A) mountains
I wonder how the (D) old town looks to-(A)-day
And (D) if the church is there beside the (A) river
Could (B7) I go back and find where mama (E) lay
Does (A) life still go to (D) sleep just after (A) sunset
Are the berries still as (A7) big on the (D) vine
Do old men sit and talk about the (A) old days
The way they did in (E) nineteen forty-(A)-nine
Chorus
Oh (A7) Oh, Oh (D) how I'd like to be
(A) Back in the hills of (E) Tennessee (E7)
(A) Oh (A7) Oh, Oh (D) it would be so fine
If (A) I could just go (E) back to nineteen (A) forty-nine
Instrumental: same as Intro
(A) I wonder if by (D) chance they might re-(A)-member
A teenage boy so (D) wild and fancy (A) free
Who (D) always loved guitars and country (A) music
If (B7) I went back would they remember (E) me
I (A) wonder what be-(D)-came of Kathryn (A) Ackers
The girl who broke my (A7) heart at seven-(D)-teen
I barely can remember what she (A) looks like
Thirty years a-(E)-go she was my (A) dream
Repeat Chorus
Instrumental: same as Intro
For many years I've (D) searched the wide world (A) over
For what I don't re-(D)-call and didn't (A) find
And (D) now I'm searching pictures in my (A) memory
For Tennessee in (E) nineteen forty-(A)-nine
Repeat Chorus
Instrumental ending: (A)//// (E)//// (A)//// /
