C F C G7 C
I'm a western North Carolinian made of stone and red clay soil
F C G7 C
Got Cherokee blood deep within me when I was born it began to boil
G7 C G7
I left my home across the mountains to see what kind of life I'd find
C F C G7 C
Searched the world in all directions to try to cool this restless mind
F C G7 C
Found myself on a lonesome journey the streets of gold I tried to find
The Indian spirit softly whispered
F C G7 C
And cooled the blood of the restless mind
G7 C
I'm going back to the Smokey Mountains
G7
And breathe the air that fed my soul
C
I’ll bury me deep in the leaves of history
F C G7 C
And there I'll find my streets of gold
F C G7 C
I'm a western North Carolinian made of stone and red clay soil
F C G7 C
Got Cherokee blood deep within me when I was born it began to boil
