C Dm C
In the hills of North Carolina, since the time of the early settlers
F
A strange light has been witnessed near the top of Brown Mountain
Dm7 C G
To this day, no one can explain the mystery of the Brown Mountain Light
[Chorus]
C F C Am C
High__ on the mountain and down 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 C
Way___ over yonder, night after night until dawn
Am
A faithful old slave, come back from the grave (searchin')
C G C
For his master who is long, long gone
[Verse]
C
In the days of the old covered wagon
Am C
When they camped on the flat for the night
Am
With the stars growing dim on the old high gorge rim
C F C
They would watch for the Brown Mountain Light
[Chorus]
F C Am C
High__ on the mountain and down 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 C
Way___ over yonder, night after night until dawn
Am
A faithful old slave, come back from the grave (searchin')
C G C
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
Am
And here, so they say, the hunter lost his way
C F C
And never returned to his home
[Verse]
C
His trusty old slave brought a lantern
Am C
And searched, but in vain, day and night
Am
The old slave is gone, but his spirit wanders on
C F C
And the old lantern still casts its light
[Chorus]
F C Am C
High__ on the mountain and down 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 C
Way___ over yonder, night after night until dawn
Am
A faithful old slave, come back from the grave (searchin')
C G C
For his master who is long, long gone
Am
A faithful old slave, come back from the grave (searchin')
C G C
For his master who is long, long gone
G C
For his master who is long, long gone
