[Intro]

G Em C D
G Em C D
[Verse]
G
St. Helen's ash is evergreen
Em
Forever rainin' in my dreams
C
I don't need a picture
D
To remember Tilton River
G
Rollin' back behind our house
Em
Of all the byways I've been down
C D
Highway 508 knows me the best
Am D G
The compass in my heart still points northwest
[Chorus]
G
Where the trees grow mountain tall
Em
Most of the summer feels like fall
C
Salmon run and the eagles fly
D
You're in heaven but you didn't die
G
Whistle blowin' at the mill
Em
Hickory shirts'll pay the bills
C D
I dream in shades of green and gray and gold
G
And I go home
[Verse]
G
To Lewis County loggin' show
Em
White pass covered up in snow
C
Make it back for Christmas
D
God knows how bad I miss it
G
Lookin' through a bus window
Em
On the road again you know
C D
That song that's in my soul is why I left
G
But my heart still points northwest
[Chorus]
G
Where the trees grow mountain tall
Em
Most of the summer feels like fall
C
Salmon run and the eagles fly
D
You're in heaven but you didn't die
G
Whistle blowin' at the mill
Em
Hickory shirts'll pay the bills
C D
I dream in shades of green and gray and gold
G
And I go home
[Post-Chorus]
Em
I go home
C
Pacific coast
Cottonwood smoke
D
It's in my bones
G
Oh, take me home
[Chorus]
G
Where the trees grow mountain tall
Em
Most of the summer feels like fall
C
Salmon run and the eagles fly
D
You're in heaven but you didn't die
G
Through the clouds I see the sun
Em
Shinin' on where I come from
C D
I dream in shades of green and gray and gold
[Post-Chorus]
G
And I go home
Em
Take me home
C D G
Yeah, I go home
Em
Cottonwood smoke
C
Takes me home
D
In my bones
