My Blue Ridge Mountain Boy Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[E]From a shack by a mountain stream
To [E]a room in [A]New Orleans
[E]So far from my Blue
Ridge Mountain home
[B]The [E]men I meet ain't
warm and friendly
Like the one in old Virginia
They ain't real like my Blue
Ridge Mountain boys
I was just a little past eighteen
when I came to [A]New Or[E]leans.
I'd never been beyond my
home to stay [B]alive.[F#]
[B]There [E]was a boy who loved me dearly,
but I broke his [A]heart [E]severely
when I left my [A]Blue [B]Ridge Moun[E]tain
[A]boy.[G][Ab][Eb][D][A]
And I [A]know the city
life's [A]more my style
[E]But nights keep blowing,
waiting for you
And it's [E]easy [A]to go [E]wrong
The man ain't kind
Like my blue [G]ridge mountain [F]boy

[Verse 2]
New [G]Orleans held [F#]things in store
[G]Things I'd [F#]nev e[G]r [C]bargained [F#]for
Every [G]night [F#]a different man
knocks on [C#]my door
[D]Oh, but lat[G]e at night when all is still
How can you [C]wait for [G]me [F#]as I[G] cry
For [C#]my blue ridge mountain b[G]oy
Oh, but I can't [C]ever [G]go back [C]home
[G]Since the [A]boy I [E]love is [C]gone
[G]He grew [C]tired [G]of waiting
[C]for me [G]to return home
They say he married last Octo[F#]ber[G]
[D]But I [G]never [C]will [G]get over
Oh, the sweet love of [C#]my Blue
Ridge [G]Mountain [D]boy[G]
[F#]Oh, the [G]sweet [F#]love o[G]f my Blu[D]e
Ridge [F]Mountain [C]boy.[G][F#]
Oh...
