[Intro]
C Am G C Am G C


[Verse 1]
C                        AmThe rolling hills of the Piedmont call out your name
       G                         COut to pasture in the sweetest refrain
      C           AmAnd I pulled in a white cross and got to asking around town
   G                          CIn hopes that I could see you again
        Am                              GYou had gone up to the mountain, higher ground to make a stand
C               Csus2/B      AmPerched up on a ledge with a rifle in your hand
         GSinging: I don’t need no man


[Chorus]
   C    Csus2 C   Csus2 C   AmTo miss all those days gone by
    C                     GAnd long for those better times
  C  Csus2 C   Csus2 C   AmI wish I could ease your mind
         C                             G      C     Csus2 C Csus2 CLike the wind blowing wild through the lonely pines

[Verse 2]
C                 Am110, it felt like nothing on an August day
            G                  CDown to the Haw to wash it all away
         C             AmHear the holler of the ten point white tailed collar
       G           CCircle left(?) and promenade
  Am                           GCicadas in the summer time and cider in the fall
     C              Csus2/B          AmIf I can’t have the girl I love then I won’t love at all
         GAnd I’ll catch my own damn self when I fall


[Chorus]
   C    Csus2 C   Csus2 C   AmTo miss all those days gone by
    C                     GAnd long for those better times
  C  Csus2 C   Csus2 C   AmI wish I could ease your mind
         C                             G      C     Csus2 C Csus2 CLike the wind blowing wild through the lonely pines
