That Mountain
Thornton/Stuart
Key: E


INTRO: E

E
There's a mean black train I've been hearin' all my life
                         B7                E
Every night at sundown I hear its lonesome cry
E
When I look through the screen door I see a rocking chair
                                  B7                   E
My momma's sittin' in it thinkin' 'bout that world out there


CHORUS:
    A                     E
She wants to go over that mountain
   B7                      E
To see what's on the other side
           A                    E
She said I want to go over that mountain
D          A          E
Before the day that I die


She's never set foot outta this poor valley holler
But she talks about her dreams of some other way of life
These 70 years of livin' never had much of anything
Is it askin' too much to see a damned diesel train


CHORUS


SOLO


20 years ago today my daddy left this holler
Said I'll be comin' back tomorrow night
I remember the sound of his boot heels in the gravel
Well he ain't been back since and he never said goodbye


CHORUS

D          A          E
Before the day that I die
