That Mountain

INTRO:  D

D
There's a big black train I've been 
hearin' all my life
                          C        
Every night at sundown I hear it's 
         D
lonesome cry

When I look through the screen door 
I see a rocking chair
My mama's sitting in it thinking 
  C
'bout that world out there


CHORUS:
     G           C             D 
She wants to go over that 
     G          A              D
mountain to see what's on the other 
side
             G          C      
She said "I want to go over that 
      D     Bm         A          D
mountain before the day that I die"

D
She's never set foot out of this 
poor valley holler
But she talks about her dreams of 
C                  D
some other way of life

87 years of living and never had 
much of anything
Is it asking too much to see a 
C                   D
damned old diesel train


CHORUS


SOLO

D
20 years ago today my daddy left 
this holler
                          C 
He said "I'll be coming back 
           D
tomorrow night"

I remember the sound of his boot 
heels in the gravel
Well he ain't been back since and he
 C            D
 never said goodbye


CHORUS


Bm         A           D
Before the day that I die
