Intro: G C G C Em 

G                      C                       G                        
Met her in the fall of 93  in the hills of Tennessee 
                   C                              Em 
She was barely seventeen  He was tall and strong and lean 
                          C        Em                                   D 
They were deep in love by June    Hand in hand beneath that moon 
           G                               C 
And she'd     sing a little blue ridge mountain song 
                   G                              C 
And he'd just hum along.  They'd dance all night til dawn 
                   Em                                C 
On a hillside all alone,  they were young and they were free 
                    Em                      C 
Like a mountain melody  True lovers they could be 
D                     G       
Singin' that blue ridge song. 

G C G C Em 


G                            C                               G 
Married in her momma's wedding gown,  bought a house and settled down 
                    C                               Em 
He was drivin' all around,  haulin' logs from town to town 
                         C      
And he'd come home every night,  
         Em                     D 
She'd be waiting in the front porch light 
           G                               C 
And she'd     sing a little blue ridge mountain song 
                   G                              C 
And he'd just hum along.  They'd dance all night til dawn 
                   Em                                C 
On a hillside all alone,  they were young and they were free 
                    Em                      C 
Like a mountain melody  True lovers they could be 
D                     G       
Singin' that blue ridge song. 

G C G C Em 

G                            C                               G 
They couldn't tell him what was wrong. They just didn't know. 
        C                               Em 
It wasn't very  long, til Jesus called her home 
                        C 
Then he got down on his knees, 
                            Em                 D 
God don't take my love from me,       Just let her 

           G                               C 
sing a little blue ridge mountain song 
                   G                               
Like she has all along.   
                                C                               G        
I’ll dance with her til dawn, On a hillside all alone 
                   Em                                C 
And we'll spend eternity, like a mountain melody 
                    Em                       
In love as we can be      
D                               G 
singin' that blue ridge song  

 G                            C                               G                     
Now I live there all alone,  in the house that they called home 
        C                               Em 
In his heart there lies a void,  from the absence of her voice 
                        C 
And he lays down every night,     

Em                                              D 
And dreams about that front porch light 
            G                       C 
Where she'd    sing a little blue ridge mountain song. 
                    G                              C 
And he'd just hum along,  they'd dance all night til dawn 
                G                                               C 
On the hillside all alone.  They were young and they were free 
                   Em                        C 
Like a mountain melody,   In love as they could be-e 
                      G     C                                                                
Makin' that blue ridge song.
