Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Been  up and down this lonesome highway
coast  to coast and back again
I  just had to do things my way
had  to go against the wind
Cause  I’ve been dreaming of the girl  I left behind
 Lord she had  the truest heart I’ve ever known
and  I’ve been looking for a world  I’ll never find
 Ever since  I left my East  Kentucky Home
 Remaining verses/choruses are the same as above..
 I can smell the wood smoke risin'
 feel the wind out in the pines
 see the way I left her cryin'
 every time I close my eyes
 Cause I’ve been dreaming of the girl I left behind
 Lord she had the truest heart I’ve ever known
 And I’ve been looking for a world I’ll never find
 Ever since I left my East Kentucky Home
 Think I’ll get up with the sunrise,
 think I’ll pack my things and go
 it's taken me this long to realize
 the only thing I need to know
 Cause I’ve been dreaming of the girl I left behind
 Lord she had the truest heart I’ve ever known
 And I’ve been looking for a world I’ll never find
 Ever since I left my East Kentucky Home
 Ever since I left my East Kentucky Home
