Chords with lyrics
C majorC FF
I just had to show 'em I didn't need 'em
C majorC G7G7
And so I headed out west to see some old friends of mine
C majorC FF
I thought if I'd climb up old Ajax Mountain
C majorC G7G7 C majorC
Maybe that would help me get it all off my mind
FF
I made it up to the top picked out a clear spot
C majorC G7G7
I thought a whole lot about the rest of my life
C majorC FF
I had no idea then soon it would nearly end
C majorC G7G7 C majorC
Up on this mountainside I would nearly die
FF C majorC FF C majorC
And they're a--ll in Alabama and they're a--ll in Dixieland
FF C majorC A minorAm
God I'm dy--ing here in Montana please Lord
C majorC G7G7 A minorAm
I just want to go back to hold her hand
C majorC G7G7 C majorC
Just let me get back to my old homeland
FF
They said I'd never sing again I learned a lot about my friends
C majorC G7G7
When you're shot down and out you don't get many calls
C majorC FF
But I saw some tears in some eyes soon my poor old mother would die
C majorC G7G7 C majorC
I nearly lost it all when I lost my grandpa
FF C majorC FF C majorC
But you can find us a--ll in Alabama yeah we're a--ll down in Dixieland
FF C majorC A minorAm
I didn't d--ie out in Montana no Lord
C majorC G7G7 A minorAm
You let me get back to my old homeland
C majorC G7G7 C majorC
And I'm gonna hold on to her hand
FF
I've done a whole lot of searching a whole lot of hurting
C majorC G7G7
Before I finally found my road in life
C majorC FF
You gotta say things you wanna say go on and do things your own way
C majorC G7G7 C majorC
You can climb any old mountain once you make up your mind
FF C majorC FF C majorC
I made m--ine in Alabama and I found m--ine down in Dixieland
FF C majorC A minorAm
