Old Home Place
*Capo 3rd Fret
It's bee[D]n ten long years si[F#7]nce I left m[G]y home
In the hollow where I was born.
Where the cool fal[D]l nights ma[F#7]ke the wood smoke rise[G],
And a fox hunter blows his [A]horn.
I fell in love with a girl from the town
I thought that she would be true.
I ran away to Charlottesville
and worked in a sawmill or two.
(Chorus)
Wha[A]t have they done to the old home place[D],
w[E]hy did they tear it down?
And why d[D]id I leave th[F#7]e plow in th[G]e field,
and look for a job in t[A]he town.
Well, the girl ran off with somebody else
the taverns took all my pay.
And here I stand where the old home stood
before they took it away.
Now the geese fly south and the cold wind moans
as I stand here and hang my head.
I've lost my love, I've lost my home
and now I wish that I was dead.
