Version 1
[Verse]
A D A D A
Well, I won-der how the old folks are at home
A A7 D D/E
Well, I won-der if they miss me when I'm gone
D A G F#7
I won-der if they pray, for their boy who went a-way
B7 E7 D/F# E7
And left his dear old par-ents all a-lone...
[Chorus]
A D A D A
You could hear the cat-tle low-ing in the lane,
A A7 D D/E
You could al-most see the fields of blue-grass green.
D A G F#7
You could al-most hear them cry, as they kis-sed their boy good-bye,
B7 E7 A D A
I won-der how the old folks are at home.
[Verse]
A D A D A
Just a vill-age and a home-stead on the farm,
A A7 D D/E
And a mot-her's love to shield you from all harm;
D A G F#7
A mot-her's love so true, and a sweet-heart brave and true,
B7 E7 D/F# E7
A vill-age and a home-stead on the farm.
[Chorus]
A D A D A
You could hear the cat-tle low-ing in the lane,
A A7 D D/E
You could al-most see the fields of blue-grass green.
D A G F#7
You could al-most hear them cry, as they kis-sed their boy good-bye,
B7 E7 A D A
I won-der how the old folks are at home.
[Chorus]
A D A D A
You could hear the cat-tle low-ing in the lane,
A A7 D D/E
You could al-most see the fields of blue-grass green.
D A G F#7
You could al-most hear them cry, as they kis-sed their boy good-bye,
B7 E7 A D A
I won-der how the old folks are at home.
