[Verse 1]
      C                            
I was born on a mountain a long 
   Am
time ago
            C            Dm       
Before they cut down the timber 
  F               Am
and strip-mined the coal
         C                         
When you rose in the mornin' before
        Am
 it was light
      C            Dm             
To go down in some dark hole come 
F          Am
back up at night


[Chorus]
      C                          
I was born on this mountain, this 
               Am
mountain's my home
        C            Dm            
and she knows me and keeps me from 
F         Am
worry and woe
           C                       
Well, they took everything that she
                   Am
 gave, now they're gone
           C           Dm      
But I will die on this mountain, 
       F             C
this mountain's my home

[Verse 2]
      C                            
I was young on this mountain but 
       Am
now I am old
      C          Dm            F 
And I knew every holler, every 
            Am
cool swimmin' hole
     C                             
'til one day i woke up, I woke up 
   Am
to find
        C            Dm        F 
That my childhood is over went 
           Am
down in that mine


[Chorus]
          C                     
but I was born on this mountain, 
                    Am
this mountain's my home
        C            Dm            
and she knows me and keeps me from 
F         Am
worry and woe
           C                       
Well, they took everything that she
                   Am
 gave, now they're gone
           C           Dm      
But I will die on this mountain, 
       F             C
this mountain's my home

[Verse 3]
              C                    
well there's a hole in this 
                    Am
mountain it's dark and it's deep
    C        Dm            F     
And god only knows all the 
     C
secrets it keeps
          C                    
There's a chill in the air only 
            Am
miners can feel
             C             Dm     
Well there's ghosts in the tunnels
     F       Am
 the company sealed



[Chorus]
          C                     
but I was born on this mountain, 
                    Am
this mountain's my home
        C            Dm            
and she knows me and keeps me from 
F         Am
worry and woe
           C                       
Well, they took everything that she
                   Am

           Am          Dm      
But I will die on this mountain, 
       F             C
this mountain's my home
