THE MOUNTAIN
Written by Steve Earle
From "The Mountain"
Capo 4th Fret (B)
1. (G)I was born on this mountain, long time a(Em)go
Before the (G)knocked down the tim(Am)ber and they (C)strip mined the (Em)coal
When you (G)rose in the morning 'fore it was (Em)light
To go (G)down in that dark (Am)hole, come back up at (Em)night (D)
[CHORUS]
I was (G)born on this mountain, this mountain's my (Em)home
And she (G)holds me and (Am)keeps me from (C)worry and (D)woe
Well, they (G)took everything that she gave, now they are (Em)gone
But I'll (G)die on this (Am)mountain, this (C)mountain's my (G)home
2. (G)I was young on this mountain, but now I am (Em)old
And I (G)knew every hol(Am)ler, every (C)cool swimmin' (Em)hole
'Til (G)one night I lay down and woke up to (Em)find
That my (G)childhood was (Am)over, I went (C)down in the (Em)mine (D)
[CHORUS]
3. (G)There's a hole in this mountain, it's dark and it's (Em)deep
And God on(G)ly knows (Am)all the (C)secrets it (Em)keeps
There's a (G)chill in the air only miners can (Em)feel
There's ghost (G)in the tunnels (Am)that the (C)company (Em)sealed (D)
[CHORUS]
