Benjamin Tod - The mountain

I was ^Gborn on this mountain a long time ^Emago Before they ^Gknocked down the ^Amtimber and ^Cstrip-mined the ^Emcoal When you woke ^Gup in the mornin' before it was ^Emlight And you go ^Gdown in that ^Amdark hole and ^Ccome back up at ^Emnight

I was ^Gborn on this mountain, this mountain's my ^Emhome She ^Gholds me and ^Amkeeps me from ^Cworry and ^Emwoe Well, they ^Gtook everything that she gave, now they're ^Emgone But I'll ^Gdie on this ^Ammountain, this ^Cmountain's my ^Emhome

I was ^Gyoung on this mountain but now I am ^Emold And I ^Gknew every ^Amholler and ^Ccool swimmin' ^Emhole Till one ^Gnight I lay down and woke up to ^Emfind That my ^Gchildhood was ^Amover and went ^Cdown in the ^Emmine

I was ^Gborn on this mountain, this mountain's my ^Emhome And she ^Gholds me and ^Amkeeps me from ^Cworry and ^Emwoe Well, they ^Gtook everything that she gave, now they're ^Emgone But I'll ^Gdie on this ^Ammountain, this ^Cmountain's my ^Emhome

^GThere's a hole in this mountain and it's dark and it's ^Emdeep Oh the ^Glord only ^Amknows all the ^Csecrets it ^Emkeeps There's a ^Gchill in the air only miners can ^Emfeel And there are ^Gghosts in the ^Amtunnels that the ^Ccompany ^Emsealed

I was ^Gborn on this mountain, this mountain's my ^Emhome She ^Gholds me and ^Amkeeps me from ^Cworry and ^Emwoe Well, they ^Gtook everything that she gave, now they're ^Emgone But I'll ^Gdie on this ^Ammountain, this ^Cmountain's my ^Emhome
