Chords for EARL THOMAS CONLEY-- Smokey Mountain Memories (Live)

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] [E] Now I'd like to do a song that I wrote back in 1974 for the [F#] late Mel Street.
I hope you remember it.
It goes [G] like this.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ [Bm] _ [Am] _
_ [G] _ [D] _ _ [Em] _ [F#m] _ [G] _
Smoky mountain _ _ [Bm] [Em] memories, like my home in [G] Tennessee.
_ [C] _ _
Yesterday keeps calling me, [D] _
calling me home.
[G] _ _
Mountains rising in my [D] soul, [Em] _
higher than the dreams I've [C] known.
Misty-eyed they cling to me, [D] my smoky mountain _ memories.
[G] _
_ _ _ _ _ An old gray man with a [Em] dog asleep at his feet,
plays [Am] a worn out [Em] fiddle full of melody.
[G] He smiles with his [Em] eyes, but the lines on his face
[Am] told me as much [D] as the [G] tunes he played.
_ _ I'm talking [F#m] about [G] my smoky mountain memories.
_ [Em] _
Pretty girls from Tennessee, _ [C] _
I was such a fool to leave.
[D] _
Leave her all _ [Bm] alone, _ [G] _
think about her in my [Em] dreams.
I wonder if she thinks of [G] me.
[C] _
Always hold her close to me in [D] my smoky mountain _ _ _ [G] memories. _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ [G] _ [C] _ [Em] _
[Am] _ [G] _ [D] _ _ [Em] _ [F#m] _ [G] _
Mr.
Play Your Fiddle _ [Em] Please, play some mountain _ [Am] melodies.
[C] _
I've been down a lonely [D] road, so far from [G] home.
[F#m] _ [G] _
Nothing left to hold on to.
[Em] I made some plans, but they fell [G] through.
[C] _
Now there's nothing left for me but [D] my smoky mountain _ _ _ [G] memories.
_ _ I'm talking [F#m] about [G] my smoky mountain _ memories.
[Em] _
Like my home in Tennessee.
[C] _ _
Yesterday keeps calling [D] me, calling me home.
_ [G] _ _
Mountains rising in my soul, [Em] _
higher than the dreams I've known.
[C] _
Misty eyes, they cling to me, [D] my smoky mountain memories.
_ [G] _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ [G] _ Yeah they do.
_ _ [N] Thank you, I love you, and I've enjoyed it. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Mr.
Earl Thomas Conley, come on, take another bow man.
[G#] Take another bow.
_ An applause for Mr.
Earl [N] Thomas Conley. _ _
