Benjamin Tod - The mountain

I was ^Gborn on this mountain a long time ^Emago 'fore they k^Gnocked down the t^Dmimber and strip-mined the ^Emcoal When you ^Gwoke up in the mornin' before it w^Emas light And you go ^Gdown in that ^Dmdark hole and come back at nig^Emht

I was ^Gborn on this mountain, this mountain's my h^Emome And she ^Gholds me and ^Dmkeeps me from worry and^Em woe And now they ^Gtook everything that she gave, now they're ^Emgone But I will d^Gie on this ^Dmmountain, this mountain's my h^Emome

I was ^Gyoung on this mountain but now I am ^Emold And I ^Gknew every h^Dmoller, and cool swimmin' h^Emole Till ^Gone night I lay down and woke up to fin^Emd That my ^Gchildhood was over and ^Dmwent down in the ^EMmine

I was ^Gborn on this mountain, this mountain's my h^Emome And she ^Gholds me and ^Dmkeeps me from worry and^Em woe And now they ^Gtook everything that she gave, now they're ^Emgone But I will d^Gie on this ^Dmmountain, this mountain's my h^Emome

There's a ^Ghole in this mountain and it's dark and it's ^EMdeep And God ^Gonly knows ^Dmall the secrets it k^Emeeps There's a c^Ghill in the air only miners can ^Emfeel There're g^Ghosts in the tunnels ^Dmthat the company s^Emealed

I was ^Gborn on this mountain, this mountain's my h^Emome And she ^Gholds me and ^Dmkeeps me from worry and^Am woe And now they ^Gtook everything that she gave, now they're ^Emgone But I will d^Gie on this ^Dmmountain, this mountain's my h^Emome
