When [B] it's cold on this mountain,
[E] [A] when winter comes on,
[E]
The [A] dew and the meadow, they sprinkle [B] along, [F#] [C#m] This road down [G#m] to Nashville [A] like crystal and
[E] stone, It's a place where a man sells his [B] soul for
[Em] a stone,
[B] God knows I love her [A] too much I can [E] see,
[A] Much [E] more than she could have ever loved [B] me, [A] If I was the last man in [C#m] eastern
[A] Tennessee,
[E]
[B] [E]
Well at times I feel I need the rain, at [A] times I need the [E] sun,
Pleasure is a threat of pain when it [B] is undone,
[A] My moments of insanity [E] are never like [A] a dream,
[E] I only know I am not [B] free the nights when [E] I am sad,
So do not be concerned my [A] love if you see [E] me cry,
[C#] For the laughter does [G#m] not choose to free [F#m] the happiness [B] inside,
[A] Just as there may seem to [E] be a smile that's out of [A] place,
It [E] only means there is a pain [B] that hurts too [E] much to face,
When
[C#m] it's cold on this mountain, [G#m] when winter comes on,
[A] The dew and the meadow, they [E] sprinkle along, [A] This road down to Nashville like [E] crystal and [A] stone,
[F#m]
[A]
[B] [E]
I'm just one man sometimes [A] I wish I was three, [E] [C#m] I could [G#m] take the .44
[F#m] pistol to [E] me,
[A] Put one in my brain just [E] for her [A] memory, [E]
One more for my heart and [A] I would be [E] free,
One more for my heart [B] and I would [E] be free.
