My Blue Ridge Mountain Boy Chords by Dolly Parton

From a shack by a mountain stream to a room in [Ab] New Orleans
_ So far from my [G] Blue Ridge [Eb] mountain home _
_ _ [Ab] The men I meet _ ain't warm and friendly
_ Like the one [Db] in old Virginia
[Db] _ [Ab] Oh, they ain't real [Eb] like my [Bbm] Blue Ridge [Ab] mountain boys
_ [Fm] I _ [Ab] was just a little past eighteen
When I [Db] came to New [Ab] Orleans
_ I'd never been beyond my [Eb] home state line
_ _ There was a boy who loved me dearly
But I broke [Db] his [Ab] heart severely
[Db] _
[Ab] When I left [Fm] _ [Eb] my Blue Ridge [Ab] mountain boys
_ Life _ [Db] was dull in my hometown
Lights [B] were out [Gb] when the sun [Db] went down
And I thought the city life was [Ab] more my style _ _ _
But nights get lonely away from home
And it's [Db] easy [Ab] to go wrong
The men ain't kind [Eb] like my Blue Ridge [Ab] mountain boys _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
New Orleans held things in store
Things I'd [D] never [A] bargained for
_ Every night a different man [E] knocks on my door _ _
But [A] late at night when all is still
I can [D] hear him whisper a will
[A] As I cry for [E] my Blue Ridge [A] mountain _ boys
_ _ [Bm] _
[D] Oh, but I can't ever go back home
[C] Since the boy [G] I love
[D] _ _ _
He grew tired waiting for me [A] to return _ _ _
They say he married last October
But I know _ [D] he'll [A] get over
[D]
All [A] the sweet love [E] of my Blue Ridge mountain [A] boys
Blue [D] _ [Dbm] Ridge [E] mountain _ [A] _ boys _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _
