E
I came out of the mountain
                  B    A
My hands were on fire
My cradle the ocean bottom
    G
My home became the sky
                 E
I wasn't born a father
                B     A
I never knew my son
I was born down in the fire
        G                   A
In the storm and the flood
                    G
I set fire to the earth
                               E   B   A   G
And I've come to watch it grow
C                                  D
I walk the world with a black coal heart
                                   E
And I'm here to make the cold wind blow

[Verse 2]
                    E
I rose up from the desert
                    B     A
I walked across the sand
Set the earth on fire
         G
With the clap of my hands
  E
I rode the wind with voices
             B          A
A black and evil tongue
                           G
Sees a guilty man set free
                     A
And an innocent one hung
                     G
I set fire to the earth
                             E   B   A   G
And I've come to watch it grow
            C                       D
I walk the world with a black coal heart
                                    E
And I'm here to make the cold wind blow
    C               D
And no one makes it rain
                    E
The way you make it rain
     C                    D
So I can, I will keep the rain
N.C.
I will keep the rain

[Verse 3]
                  E
I fell out of the mountain
                B          A
My hands were broken still
These words my testament
      G
These words my final will
                 E
I wasn't born a father
                  B    A
But now I know my son
And this is what he told me
          G                  A
While he held a smoking gun
                       G
I set fire to the earth
                              E   B   A   G   C
And I've come to watch it grow
                                   D
I walk the world with a black coal heart
                                   E      C
And I'm here to make the cold wind blow
                                   D
I walk the world with a black coal heart
                                   E      C
And I'm here to make the cold wind blow [x3]
