             Bb        Eb    Bb  
     Sure is cold here in Chicago
                  F              Bb
     The wind can cut you like a knife
                          Eb
     Another day, another dollar
            Cm                F
     What a way to spend your life
	    

             Bb         Eb    Bb
     She was young, and I was restless
              F              Bb
     So I set out to see the world
                            Eb
     Left my home in old Virginia
            Bb        F        Bb
     And my Blueridge mountain girl


     Chorus
     [               Eb              Bb                 ]
     [ I can see her standing by the window             ]
     [                 Eb            F                  ]
     [ There's nothing sadder in the world              ]
     [                   Gm             Eb       Bb     ]
     [ Than to see those green eyes all red from crying ]
     [       Bb        F        Bb                      ]
     [ Oh my Blueridge mountain girl                    ]

     In my hand I hold a letter
     Said, she made a pretty bride
     As I lay here in the darkness
     She lies by another's side

     I've got money in my pocket
     Diamond rings that I wear
     But I'd trade it all this minute
     For all the gold that's in her hair
