Brown Mountain Light

C                             
In the hills of North Carolina, 
Dm                                
since the time of the early 
     C
settlers
A strange light has been witnessed 
                F
near the top of Brown Mountain
        Dm7                        
To this day, no one can explain the
        C                          
 mystery of the Brown Mountain 
   G
Light

[Chorus]
C  F          C            Am  
High__ on the mountain and down
                 C
 in the valley below
C
It shines like the crown of an angel
    Am                          G7
And fades as the mist comes and goes
C  F        C       Bb         
Way___ over yonder, night after
             C
 night until dawn
A faithful old slave, come back from
     Am
 the grave (searchin')
        C             G          
For his master who is long, long 
C
gone

[Verse]
C
In the days of the old covered wagon
          Am                       
When they camped on the flat for 
  C
the night
With the stars growing dim on the 
               Am
old high gorge rim

           C             F   
They would watch for the Brown 
           C
Mountain Light

[Chorus]
   F          C            Am    
High__ on the mountain and down 
               C
in the valley below
C
It shines like the crown of an angel
    Am                          G7
And fades as the mist comes and goes

 night until dawn
A faithful old slave, come back from

 the grave (searchin')
        C             G          
For his master who is long, long

gone

[Verse]
C
Long years ago a southern planter
     Am                         C
Came hunting in this wild land alone
And here, so they say, the hunter 
         Am
lost his way
    C       F             C
And never returned to his home

[Verse]
C
His trusty old slave brought a 
lantern
    Am                             
And searched, but in vain, day and 
C
night
The old slave is gone, but his 
               Am
spirit wanders on
        C           F             
And the old lantern still casts 
  C
its light

[Chorus]
   F          C            Am    
High__ on the mountain and down 
               C
in the valley below
C
It shines like the crown of an angel
    Am                          G7
And fades as the mist comes and goes
C  F        C       Bb         
Way___ over yonder, night after
             C
 night until dawn
A faithful old slave, come back from
     Am
 the grave (searchin')
        C             G          
For his master who is long, long 
C
gone
A faithful old slave, come back from
     Am
 the grave (searchin')
        C             G          
For his master who is long, long 
C
gone
                      G         
For his master who is long, long 
 C
