Caroline Herring - Black Mountain Lullaby



INTRO: G

                C G              D    G
Gather round my table, say grace with me
             C   G                             D   G
In my little trailer, in the mountains of Wise County
                 C G              D  G
Grief is mine forever, sadness my story
              C  G                             D   G
Down in Inman Holler, in the mountains of Wise County

CHORUS:
Em        D    G
Bye baby, baby bye
C           D   G
Little baby bye-bye
Em        D    G
Bye baby, baby bye
C           D   G
Little baby bye-bye


                 C    G              D   G
Mountaintops are made of 1,000 pound boulders
                   C     G             D    G
That roll down the hills and on to our shoulders
             C    G           D   G
Lord, let me bear it for safe keeping
             C      G                  D   G
Lord, let me shield it from my dearest Jeremy


CHORUS:
Em        D    G
Bye baby, baby bye
C           D   G
Little baby bye-bye
Em        D    G
Bye baby, baby bye
C           D   G
Little baby bye-bye


INSTRUMENTAL: G   C G    D G   (2x)


          C    G                D    G
Mama will rock you 'til you are sleeping
            C    G            D   G
Angels will hold you in their keeping
         C   G               D G
Powerful men will make their money
               C    G                             D   G
Your name will live here in the mountains of Wise County

Little baby bye-bye
Em        D    G
Bye baby, baby bye
C           D   G
Little baby bye-bye
   C           D   G
My little baby bye-bye
