Key: E
Introduction:
E
In my mind I see a picture and my thoughts begin to roam
A
to the rollin hills and valleys that surround my childhood home
F#m B7 E
I can almost smell the flowers growing wild along the track down to the stream.
I hear grandpa telling stories sitting on the front porch swing
A
scattered all around are pages of the songs that I would sing
F#m B7
and there I am cross legged with a dream
A
I'd sing coat of many colours, I knew every word by heart
G#m
and I'd fumble through the changes on an old flat top guitar
F#m A B7 E
make believe the city hills rolled into the smokey mountains tennessee.
A
I'd swap bubble gum for curtain calls with other kids my age
G#m
and the shows would last for hours on the Opry tree house stage
F#m B7 E
and the dreams of little children echoe still, on Blackwood hill.
I recall the day I packed my bags and waved Blackwood goodbye
A G#m F#m E
Every day was full of music, family and best friends.
A G#m F#m B7
troubles of the world erased, by games of lets pretend.
Chorus
F#m B7 E
The little girl inside of me is dreaming still, on blackwood hill.
