G Em
I was born on this mountain a long time ago
G Am C Em
Before they knocked down the timber and strip-mined the coal
G Em
When you rose in the mornin' before it was light
G Am C Em D
To go down in that dark hole and come back up at night
G Em
I was born on this mountain, this mountain's my home
G Am C D
She holds me and keeps me from worry and woe
G Em
Well, they took everything that she gave, now they're gone
G Am C G
But I'll die on this mountain, this mountain's my home
G Em
I was young on this mountain but now I am old
G Am C Em
And I knew every holler, every cool swimmin' hole
G Em
Till one night I lay down and woke up to find
G Am C Em D
That my childhood was over and I went down in the mine
G Em
I was born on this mountain, this mountain's my home
G Am C D
She holds me and keeps me from worry and woe
G Em
Well, they took everything that she gave, now they're gone
G Am C G
But I'll die on this mountain, this mountain's my home
SOLO
G Em
There's a hole in this mountain and it's dark and it's deep
G Am C Em
And God only knows all the secrets it keeps
G Em
There's a chill in the air only miners can feel
G Am C Em D
There're ghosts in the tunnels that the company sealed
G Em
I was born on this mountain, this mountain's my home
G Am C D
She holds me and keeps me from worry and woe
G Em
Well, they took everything that she gave, now they're gone
G Am C G
But I'll die on this mountain, this mountain's my home
