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
