	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 l	ight

	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 d	own 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
