Jason Boland - Fire On The Mountain guitar chord

Fire On The Mountain

George McCorkle/Marshall Tucker Band

Performed by: Jason Boland

Em C

Took my fam'ly away from my Carolina home

Em C

Had dreams about the West and started to roam

Em C

Six long months on a dust covered trail

Em C

They say heaven's at the end but so far it's been hell

chorus

C G D

And there's fire on the mountain, lightnin' in the air

Am C Em

gold in them hills and it's waitin' for me there

We were diggin' and siftin' from five to five

sellin' everything we found just to stay alive

gold flowed free like the whiskey in the bars

sinnin' was the big thing, lord and Satan was his star

chorus

Dance hall girls were the evenin' treat

Empty cartridges and blood lined the gutters of the street

Men were shot down for the sake of fun

Or just to hear the noise of their forty four guns

chorus

Now my widow she weeps by my grave

Tears flow free for her man she couldn't save

Shot down in cold blood by a gun that carried fame

All for a useless and no good worthless claim

chorus (2x) (end on G instead of Em)
