The Wrong Direction Home Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][C][G][D][G]

[Verse 1]
In [G]a shingle covered
cottage at the [C]foothills of blue stacks
Near [G]a mountain stream that's
[D]flowing crystal [G]clear
Where the humming birds and honey
bees [C]feed on Mama's roses
My [G]mem'ries just grow [D]sweeter
with the [G]years
Mem'ries of my childhood are as
[C]sweet as mountain honey
And as [G]fresh as a dew on [D]morning glory [G]vines
I grew up surrounded by the sight
[C]s and sounds of nature
And [G]they're forever [D]present in my mind
[G]

[Verse 2]
But I'm [C]headed in the [D]wrong
direction [G]home
[D]Headed in the wrong direction [G]home
There's [C]no [D]place like [G]home
But I'm [D]headed in the wrong
direction home
[G]

[Verse 3]
Teardrops mingled with the summer
[C]rain that was a falling
The [G]day I left my [D]moun
tain home [G]be hind
With a suitcase in my hand
and a [C]hope in my heart
I was [G]following [D]a dream I had to find
[G]

[Verse 4]
In that shingled covered cottage at
the [C]foothills of the smokies
Waits [G]a family hat I'm [D]longing to [G]see
And mountain streams and fields of green
And [C]rolling hills stay in my dreams
But [G]I'm many,
many [D]miles from Ten[G]nessee

[Verse 5]
And still [C]headed in the [D]wrong
direction [G]home
[D]Headed in the wrong direction [G]home
But [C]maybe I'll get [D]back before too [G]long
But I'm [D]headed in the
wrong direction [C]home
[G]
