capo 3
[D] [G] [D] [G] [Bm] [A] [D] [G]
[D]Met her in the fall of 9[G]3 in the hills of Tennes[D]see
She was barely seven[G]teen He was tall and strong and [Bm]lean
They were deep in love by [G]June [Bm]Hand in [G]hand be[D]neath that [A]moon
And she'd [D] sing a little blue ridge [F#m]mountain [G]song
And he'd just hum a[D]long. They'd dance all night til [G]dawn
On a hillside all a[Bm]lone, they were young and they were [G]free
Like a mountain melo[Bm]dy True lovers they could [G]be
[A]Singin' that blue ridge [D]song. [G] [D] [A] [D] [G]
[D]Married in her momma's wedding [G]gown, bought a house and settled [D]down
He worked drivin' all a[G]round, haulin' logs from town to [Bm]town
And he'd come home every [G]night, [Bm]
[Bm]She'd be waiting in the front porch [G]light
And she'd [D] sing a little blue ridge [F#m]mountain [G]song
And he'd just hum a[D]long. They'd dance all night til [G]dawn
On the front porch all a[Bm]lone, they were young and they were [G]free
Like a mountain melo[Bm]dy, In love as they could [G]be-e [A]
[A]Makin' that blue ridge [D]song [G] [D] [G] [Bm] [A]
[D]They couldn't [F#m]tell him what was [G]wrong. They just didn't [D]know.
It wasn't [A]very [G]long, til Jesus called her [Bm]home
Then he got down on his [G]knees, [Bm]
[Bm]God don't take my love from [G]me, [A] Just let her [D]
[D]Sing a little blue ridge [F#m]mountain [G]song, like she has all a[D]long
I'll dance with [F#m]her til [G]dawn, on a hillside all a-[D]lone
And we'll spend eterni[G]ty, like a [G]mountain melo[Bm]dy
In love as we can [G]be [A]singin' that blue ridge [D]song [G] [D] [G] [A] [D]
Now I live there all a[G]lone, in the [A]house that they called [D]home
In his heart there lies a [G]boy, from the absence of her [Bm]voice
And he lays down every [G]night, [Bm]And dreams a[G]bout that front porch [A]light
Where she'd [D] sing a little blue ridge [F#m]mountain [G]song.
And he'd just come a[D]long, they'd dance all night til [G]dawn
On the hillside all a[Bm]lone. They were young and they were [G]free
Like a mountain melo[Bm]dy, In love as they could [G]be-e [A]
[A]Makin' that blue ridge [D]song. [G]Little blue ridge mountain [D]song
[G]Sing a little blue ridge mountain [D]song [C] [G] [D]
