Song: The Mountain Tab
Intro Em G Am C D
G Em
I was born on this mountain a long time ago
G Am C D
Before they knocked down the timber and strip-mined all the coal
G Em
When you rose up in the mornin' before it was daylight
G Am C G
To go down in that dark hole and come back up at night
I was born on this mountain, this mountain's my home
She holds me and she keeps me from worry and woe
Well, they took everything she gave, she gave it now she's gone
But I'll die on this mountain, this mountain's my home
Intro
I was young on this mountain, but now I am old
And I knew every holler, every cool swimmin' hole
Till one night I lay down and woke up to find
That my childhood was over and I went back down in the mine
There's a hole in this mountain and it's dark and it's deep
And God only knows all the secrets it keeps
There's a chill in the air only miners can feel
There are ghosts in the tunnels that the company sealed
Em G Am C G
