Clear Cut

D                                
Way back in the mountains on the 
A
high knob by the ridge
    C                 G           
My grandpa built our cabin where 
   D
we lived for 40 years
D                           Am
Spent my happy childhood beneath the
 hardwood trees
  C                G              
I didn't know what I had then was 
C             D      C   D   A
all I'd ever need


D                                 
Mountain laurels blooming, it was 
A
early in the spring
C              G            D
Lookin' out my window on a sea of 
endless green
D                              Am
Rich men from the city came to buy 
our land today
C          G                  
Took 200 years to grow, but it's 
    C          D
gone in 30 days

[Chorus]

Am                          
Mud slides down the mountain, 
             C
there's no way to stop the flood
G                                 
Hills without their timbers, like 
  D               A
a man without his blood
Am                         C
Scars upon the land, those wounds 
will never heal
      C               D           
But a greedy man will never get 
   A     C   D   A
his fill

[Chorus]

Am                          
Mud slides down the mountain, 
             C
there's no way to stop the flood
G                                 
Hills without their timbers, like 
  D               A
a man without his blood
Am                         C
Scars upon the land, those wounds 
will never heal


[Ending]

      C               D           
But a greedy man will never get 
   A
his fill
   C                  D           
I can't go back and I know I never
  A
 will
   C                 D            
I hope someday they know the way I
  A   E
 feel
