[Em] Took my family [C] away from my Carolina [Em] home Had dreams about the West [C] and started to [Em] roam
Six long months [C] on a dust cover [Em] trail They say heaven's at the [C] end but so far it's
[Am] been hell [G] And they're far on the mountain, [D] lightin'
in the [Am] air Holdin' them [C] hills and askin' wait [Em] for me
there We
[C] [Am] [Em] were diggin' and [C] siftin' from five to five
[Em] Sellin' everything we [C] found just to stay alive
[Em] Gold flowed free [C] like the whiskey in the [Em] bar Sending was the big thing [C] Lord and Sid was
[G] And they're far on the mountain, [D] lightin' in the air

Holdin' them [C] hills and askin' wait [Em] for me there
Now [C]
[Am] [Em] my widow, [C]
she reached by my [Em] grave Hears flow free for her [C] man, she couldn't [Em] say

All for a use and [C] no good, wordless [D] claim [G] And they're far on the mountain, [D] lightin'
in the [Am] air Holdin' them hills [C] and askin' wait [G] for me
