[Bb] [Eb]
[Bb]
Back in the days [Eb] of my childhood
[Bb] In the evening when everything [F] was still
[Bb] I used to sit and listen [Eb] to the clock tell
[Bb] With my dad in the old Kentucky hills
I'm on the way back [Eb] to the old [Bb] home
The road winds are [F] up the hill
[Bbm] But [D] there ain't no [Eb] light in the window
[Bb] That shines on the road where I live
[Eb]
[Bb] Soon [F]
[Bb] [Eb]
[Bb]
my childhood [Eb] days were over
[Bb] I had to leave [F] my home
[Bb] For a dad in what was [Ebm] called heaven
[Bb] I was left in this world all alone
I'm on the way back [Eb] to the old home
[Bb] The road winds are [F] up the hill
[Bb] But there ain't no [Fm] [Eb] light in the window
[Bb] That shines on the road where I live
I'm [Fm] [Eb]
[Bb]
in the hills of [Eb] old Kentucky
[Bb] And the father's part of my [F] memory
[Bb] I'm on my way back to [Bbm] the old [Eb] home
[Bb] The light in the window I long to see
I'm on my way back to [Eb] the old home
[Bb] The road winds are up [F] the hill
[Bbm] But there [D] ain't no light [Eb] in the window
[Bb] That shines on the road where I live
I'm on my way back to the old home
[Eb] [Bb] The road winds are up [F] the hill
[Bbm] But there ain't no light [Eb] in the window
[Bb] That shines on the road where I live
[N]
