Black Hills Of Dakota – Doris Day

Black Hills Of Dakota – Doris Day

A whimsical, mellow tune, one to play lazily. Starts easy but throws a few random G sharps in later so watch out for those. The best song from the film “Calamity Jane” staring Doris Day 😀

 

D       G     G       G   A    B         G
Take me back to the black hills

A       B         B    ^C   B-B-A
The black hills of Dakota

F# G    A – A – G  F#F#E  D – F#
To the beautiful Indian country

A    ^C B-^D
That I love

 

D      G     G         G  A     B         G
Lost my heart in the black hills

A     B         B     ^C   B-B-A
The black hills of Dakota

F#         G     A       A    G   F#
Where the pines are so high

F#     E      D     ^D   G    F#-G
That they kiss the sky above

 

G      A       B ^C     B     ^C  –  B        ^D – ^C
And when I get that lonesome feelin’

G      A    B       B – B   A      G
And I’m miles away from home

A A     G#  A       A   G#  A – B    ^C  – ^C#
I hear the voice of the mystic mountains

^D-^C   G#  B       A
Callin’ me back home

 

^D  D      G    G       G   A   B        G
So take me back to the black hills

A     B        B      ^C  B-B-A
The black hills of Dakota

F# G    A – A – G F#F#E D – ^D
To the beautiful Indian country

G      F# G
That I love
