Intro: Am D Am Am D Am Am D Am Am D Am Am D Am F F F G Verse 1: Am There’s an answer here if I look hard enough G There’s a reason I always reach for the harder stuff Am It wasn’t my daddy’s way. He was down in the mines all day G And though he wanted more than mouths to feed and bills to pay Chorus 1: F C G Maybe the Cumberland Gap just swallows you whole F C G Maybe the Cumberland Gap just swallows you whole
Verse 2: Am I ain’t cut out for war unless I know what I’m fightin’ for G And there’s nothing here but churches, bars and grocery stores Am There ain’t much money here in the Old Time Mandolin G So I cash my check and I drink till I’m on my ass again Chorus 2: F C G Maybe the Cumberland Gap just swallows you whole F C G Maybe the Cumberland Gap just swallows you whole F C G Maybe the Cumberland Gap just swallows you whole Bridge: Bb C Remember when we could see the mountain's peak? Bb C The sparkle off the amphibole? Bb C Like a giant golden eagle's beak Bb G Now they say no one wants the coal Verse 3: Am I thought about moving away But what would my mama say? G I'm all that she has left and I'm with her every day Am As soon as the sun goes down I find my way to the Mustang Lounge G And if you don't sit facing the window You could be in any town Chorus 3: F C G Maybe the Cumberland Gap just swallows you whole F C G Maybe the Cumberland Gap just swallows you whole F C G Maybe the Cumberland Gap just swallows you whole F C G Maybe the Cumberland Gap just swallows you whole Outro:
