Teardrops on Mt Sad

Chorus:
  D          G         D
Oh they are there, alright
                                  A
Even those fought back during the night
   D                   G              D
But the tough wrenched out ones on Mt Sad
                          A7   D
Were the ones put there by my dad

  D                G        D
He fought that old timber soil
   E7                 E7                    A
Worked so hard, I thought his blood would boil
     D                     G                 D
I can see his tan face and arms in his bib overalls
                               A7       D
And that pleasant, easy smile, most of all

 G                            D
Yes my dad shed his share of tears
                                        A
Told me to get an education, get out of here
   D                G         D
And now I am back and he is gone
                         A7    D
I have these memories put to song

Chorus:

  D                G        D
I miss you Mom, Larry and Dad
                             A
And those good tough times we had
    D               G        D
Living and growing up on Mt Sad
                     A7    D
Really, they were'nt that bad
