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