        When you (G)rose in the morning 'fore it was (Em)light
        To go (G)down in that dark (Am)hole, come back up at (Em)night  (D)
(CHORUS)
        I was (G)born on this mountain, this mountain's my (Em)home
        And she (G)holds me and (Am)keeps me from (C)worry and (D)woe
        Well, they (G)took everything that she gave, now they are (Em)gone
        But I'll (G)die on this (Am)mountain, this (C)mountain's my (G)home
2.      (G)I was young on this mountain, but now I am (Em)old
        And I (G)knew every hol(Am)ler, every (C)cool swimmin' (Em)hole
        'Til (G)one night I lay down and woke up to (Em)find
        That my (G)childhood was (Am)over, I went (C)down in the (Em)mine  (D)

        And God on(G)ly knows (Am)all the (C)secrets it (Em)keeps
        There's a (G)chill in the air only miners can (Em)feel
        There's ghost (G)in the tunnels (Am)that the (C)company (Em)sealed  (D)
