Oh, my (A)home is in the mountains, I am (G)free, I am free

2nd. Intro.:  (F) x 4 bars

I've been a long (F) time on the highway, I've been a long (C) time on the run
And it gets to be like chaos when I'm (F)so long away from home
And sometimes it's just to much to bare and I (C)hide behind my eyes
I can picture friendly faces and I can (F)dream of friendly skies

And I (G)guess that I'm a lucky one for the (D)truth of what I know
For my heart had not denied me and I (G)have somewhere to go
I shall never be a prisoner of steel (D) and glass and stone
If I leave, I will return again to my Rocky Mountain (G)home

Oh, my (A)home is in the mountains, I am (G)free, I am free
