            Em          G             D              A
With your tongue back, draggin' ass, hotter than a train track
 Em            G      D   A
Harlan up to Middlesboro
           Em         G             D        A
With your coal seam, jimson weed, wildcat, wind speed
 Em       G          D  A
Big Sandy to the Big O

There used to be a mountain here
       A            Em        G               D           A
There used to be a river so clear, we could swim to the bottom
            Em              G            D              A
There was heart, there was soul, but I guess that we forgot 'em
              Em             G                D            A        Em
'Cause there ain't nothin' standin' out the window but a sign on a slag pile
G          D                A            Em        G  D  A
  It says,  it said there used to be a mountain here

And your quickset toothache needs a little opiate
 Em            G        D  A
Lookin' for a pot a-gold
       Em          G           D          A
With a go-devil
Honda rebel
OxyContin coal shovel
 Em              G          D  A
Climb on up the tipple and go
               Em         G
Straight to a gunnysack, polecat
 D                A                G
Mitch'll have a heart attack, you know

  It says,  it said there used to be a mountain here

Bridge:
                    Bm
There used to be a house on the edge of town
                    Am
There used to be a job and a roller rink
                    G
Church on Sunday, passin' the plate around
                     C
There used to be a river full of catfish
                    Bm
We'd catch, just to let 'em go

Ah, we used to let it flow
D
But now, we've let ourselves go

Hey

And you're all jacked, smoke-stacked, suckin' on a thumb tack
 Em              G         D   A
Swingin' at the end of ya rope
          Em       G           D                A
From a shoelace, total waste, sign your whole life away
Em                G                D   A
Don't forget the debt that you're owed

From the fat cats, race rats, big Pharma, tall stacks
