Intro: F       Eb Bb F       Eb Bb F 

  F                         Dm 
* Smokey Mountain Memories, 'bout my home in Tennessee 
  Bb                          C 
* Yesterday keeps calling me, calling me ho-oo-oo?oo-ome 
F                            Dm 
Mountains rising in my soul, higher than the dreams I've known 
Bb                                 C                      F 
Misty eyes, they cling to me, like Smokey Mountain Mem-o- -ries 

                              Dm 
An old gray man with a dog a- -sleep at his feet 
        Gm                       Dm 
Plays a worn out fiddle, full of mel-o-dies 
   F                             Dm 
He smiles with his eyes, but the lines on his face 
Gm                     C        F 
Told me as much as the tunes he played 

Talkin' 'bout my: 

F                           Dm 
Smokey Mountain Mem-o-ries, pretty girl's in Tennessee 
Bb                          C 
I was such a fool to leave, leave her all alo-oo-oo-oo-one 
F                             Dm 
Think about her in my dreams, wonder if she thinks of me 
Bb                                   C                      F 
I always hold her close to me, in my Smokey Mountain Mem-o- -ries 

Instrumental: Follow pattern of first two lines of first verse* 

F 
                                    Dm 
So mister, play your fiddle please, play some mountain mem-o-ries 
Bb                            C 
I've been down a lonely road, so far from ho-oo-oo?oo-ome 
F                          Dm 
Nothing left to hold onto, I made some plans but they fell thru 
Bb                                     C                      F 
Now there's nothing left for me but my Smokey Mountain Mem-o- -ries 

Repeat first verse 

Instrumental: Follow pattern of first verse and fade out on last line
