D
Way up north by the ice bound ocean
      C   C/B C/A C/G   D
I was born        I was born
D
Way up north in the Merrimack county
          C    C/B C/A C/G       D     C C/B C/A C/G D
That's my home         that's my home
D
When I was younger and in my schooling
             C         C/B C/A  C/G     D
I walked the mountains          made of stone
D
The distance sang about tomorrow
      C  C/B C/A C/G                   D     C C/B C/A C/G  D
And I did         wish I was grown and gone
D
Well as I grew indeed I rambled
    C     C/B C/A C/G      D
Out along         the open road
D
There I learned the rainbow circle
           C    C/B C/A  C/G     D     C C/B C/A C/G  D
It's truly said that's a sign of storm
D
Now I'm old my dreams they wander
    C    C/B  C/A C/G     D    
Far away in       yesterday
D
I'm going home to the Merrimack county
              C     C/B   C/A C/G         D   C C/B  C/A C/G  D
And  find the grass that      hides my grave
D
So let the birds fly down the valley
        C      C/B  C/A C/G D 
Let the storms roam on  the sea
D
I was born to the rainbow circle
      C                C/B  C/A C/G  D
Stoney mountain that's home     to   me
