[Verse 1]
G               C       G                    D              G
It sure is cold here in Chicago the wind can cut you like a knife
        G7           C             Am                D
Another day, another dollar what a way to spend your life
        G         C     G              D              G
She was young and I was restless I set out to see the world
        G7          C              G          D        G
Left my home in old virgina and my Blue Ridge Mountain girl

[Chorus]
              C               G                          C             D
I can see her standing by the window and there's nothing sadder in the world
                  Em              C        G                       D        G
Than to see those green eyes, all red from crying on my Blue Ridge Mountain girl

[Verse 2]
G             C      G               D             G
In my hands I hold a letter says she made a pretty bride
         G7              C                 Am           D
And as I lay here in the darkness she lies by another's side
         G     C     G               D            G
I've got money in my pockets diamond rings that I wear
        G7                  C              G           D      G
But I'd trade them all this minute for the gold that's in her hair

[Chorus]
              C               G                          C             D
I can see her standing by the window and there's nothing sadder in the world
                  Em              C        G                       D        G
Than to see those green eyes, all red from crying on my Blue Ridge Mountain girl

I can see her standing by the window and there's nothing sadder in the world
                  Em              C        G                       D        G
Than to see those green eyes, all red from crying on my Blue Ridge Mountain girl
