Steve Earle - The Mountain guitar chord

D Bm

I was born on this mountain a long time ago

D Em G Bm

Before they knocked down the timber and strip-mined the coal

D Bm

When you rose in the mornin' before it was light

D Em G Bm A

To go down in that dark hole and come back up at night

D Bm

I was born on this mountain, this mountain's my home

D Em G A

She holds me and keeps me from worry and woe

D Bm

Well, they took everything that she gave, now they're gone

D Em G D

But I'll die on this mountain, this mountain's my home

D Bm

I was young on this mountain but now I am old

D Em G Bm

And I knew every holler, every cool swimmin' hole

D Bm

Till one night I lay down and woke up to find

D Em G Bm A

That my childhood was over and I went down in the mine

D Bm

I was born on this mountain, this mountain's my home

D Em G A

She holds me and keeps me from worry and woe

D Bm

Well, they took everything that she gave, now they're gone

D Em G D

But I'll die on this mountain, this mountain's my home

SOLO

D Bm

There's a hole in this mountain and it's dark and it's deep

D Em G Bm

And God only knows all the secrets it keeps

D Bm

There's a chill in the air only miners can feel

D Em G Bm A

There're ghosts in the tunnels that the company sealed

D Bm

I was born on this mountain, this mountain's my home

D Em G A

She holds me and keeps me from worry and woe

D Bm

Well, they took everything that she gave, now they're gone

D Em G D

But I'll die on this mountain, this mountain's my home
