+{c:Intro}

+[G] [B7] [C] [G]  [D]
+[G] [B7] [C] [G] [D] [G]
+
+It's [G]been ten long [B7]years since I [C]left my [G]home
+In the hollow where I was [D]born
+Where the [G]cool fall [B7]nights make the [C]wood smoke [G]rise
+And the foxhunter [D]blows his [G]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
+
+{c:chorus}
+
+[D]What have they done to the [G]old home place
+[A7]Why did they tear it [D]down
+And [G]why did I [B7]leave the [C]plow in the [G]field
+And look for a [D]job in the [G]town
+
+Well my girl she 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 they fly south and the cold wind blows
+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
+
+{c:chorus}
