Verse:

F7           Bb
Black Hills, Black Hills
F7                       Bb
Tho' I've wandered far a-way
F7           Bb
Black Hills, Black Hills,
F7                Cm7F7    Bb A7
I'll come back to you some day


Dm
Where the deer and the buffalo roam
        Dm7     Gm       A7  Dm  A7
And the Redwing feathers her nest
Dm
That's the place that I call my home
    Dm7         C7       F7  Ebm6F7
The land that I love the best

Chorus:

Bb      Eb          Bb
Take me back to the Black Hills
                   Cm7  F7
To the Black Hills of Dako-ta
                 Cm7    F7
To the beautiful Indian country
       Bb   FdimF7
That I love

Bb      Eb           Bb
Lost my heart in the Black Hills
                Cm7   F7
The Black Hills of Da ko-ta
          Cm7          F7
Where the pines are so high
          Cm7      F7    Bb  EbBb
That they kiss the sky a-bove

    Bb7    Eb                       Ebm6
And when I get that lonesome feeling
        Bb      D7       Gm  Gm7
And I'm miles a-way from home
  C7       Gm7          C7     Gm7  C7
I hear the voice of the mystic moun-tains
F7       Ebm6    F7  F7+5
Call-ing me back home

   Bb      Eb          Bb
So take me back to the Black Hills
                Cm7   F7
The Black Hills of Da-ko-ta
                 Cm7    F7
To the beautiful Indian country
       Bb  F7F7+5
That I love
