The Mountain

D                                 
I was born on this mountain a long
      Bm
 time ago
D                            Em  
Before they knocked down the 
       G               Bm
timber and strip-mined the coal
D                                 
When you rose in the mornin' 
          Bm
before it was light
      D            Em            
To go down in that dark hole and 
G               Bm    A
come back up at night
      D                          
I was born on this mountain, this 
               Bm
mountain's my home
D                Em            G
She holds me and keeps me from 
         A
worry and woe
           D                       
Well, they took everything that she
                   Bm
 gave, now they're gone
         D           Em           
But I'll die on this mountain, 
  G             D
this mountain's my home
D                                 
I was young on this mountain but 
        Bm
now I am old

      D          Em            G 
And I knew every holler, every 
            Bm
cool swimmin' hole
D                                 
Till one night I lay down and woke
       Bm
 up to find
        D             Em       
That my childhood was over and I 
        G          Bm  A
went down in the mine
      D                          
I was born on this mountain, this 
               Bm
mountain's my home
D                Em            G
She holds me and keeps me from 
         A
worry and woe
           D                       
Well, they took everything that she
                   Bm
 gave, now they're gone
         D           Em           
But I'll die on this mountain, 
  G             D
this mountain's my home

SOLO

D                                 
There's a hole in this mountain 
                     Bm
and it's dark and it's deep
    D        Em            G     
And God only knows all the 
     Bm
secrets it keeps
          D                    
There's a chill in the air only 
            Bm
miners can feel
         D             Em         
There're ghosts in the tunnels 
      G       Bm      A
that the company sealed
      D                          
I was born on this mountain, this 
               Bm
mountain's my home
D                Em            G
She holds me and keeps me from 
         A
worry and woe
           D                       
Well, they took everything that she
                   Bm
 gave, now they're gone
         D           Em           
But I'll die on this mountain, 
  G             D
this mountain's my home
