 THE MOUNTAIN
 Written by Steve Earle
 From "The Mountain"
 Capo 4th Fret (B)
 
 
 1.	(G)I was born on this mountain, long time a(Em)go
 
 	Before the (G)knocked down the tim(Am)ber and they (C)strip mined the 	(Em)coal
 	
 	When you (G)rose in the morning 'fore it was (Em)light 
 
 	To go (G)down in that dark (Am)hole, come back up at (Em)night  (D)
 
 [CHORUS]
 	I was (G)born on this mountain, this mountain's my (Em)home
 	
 	And she (G)holds me and (Am)keeps me from (C)worry and (D)woe
 
 	Well, they (G)took everything that she gave, now they are (Em)gone
 	
 	But I'll (G)die on this (Am)mountain, this (C)mountain's my (G)home
 
 2.	(G)I was young on this mountain, but now I am (Em)old
 
 	And I (G)knew every hol(Am)ler, every (C)cool swimmin' (Em)hole
 
 	'Til (G)one night I lay down and woke up to (Em)find
 
 	That my (G)childhood was (Am)over, I went (C)down in the (Em)mine  (D)
 
 [CHORUS]
 
 3.	(G)There's a hole in this mountain, it's dark and it's (Em)deep
 
 	And God on(G)ly knows (Am)all the (C)secrets it (Em)keeps
 
 	There's a (G)chill in the air only miners can (Em)feel
 	
 	There's ghost (G)in the tunnels (Am)that the (C)company (Em)sealed  (D)
 
 [CHORUS]
