[D] We went up on the mountain to hear the old [G] man play
[A] And everything about him was steeped in the [D] old time way
And the sound he made was stirring, it was magic, it was [G] fun
[A] When asked what it was called back when, he smiled and he said,
Some call it music, in the church house in the [G] fields
It was honest, it was simple, [D] and it helped the hard times heal
[A] It was music, they sang it deep down in the mines
[G] And darkened lumps and prison cells, [A] and behind that a lion
They [D] called it music

Our father's fiddle tunes sat our days [G] in town
[A] Stayed in our heads and hearts all week till they came [D] back around
I swear their goals are with me, I can feel them [G] when I play
[A] It wasn't all about the money like it is today
They called it music, in the church house in the fields
It [G] was honest, it was simple, [D] and it helped the hard times heal
[A] It was music, they sang it deep down in the mines
[G] And darkened lumps and prison cells, [A] and behind that a lion

No, you didn't need to read a word to [G] memorize a hymn
Four [A] way down in your [A] soul you know a seed is [D] something
There's a power in those old songs I hope will [G] never fade
[A] So love them like your children and don't let them get [D] away
They called [A] it music, in the church house in the fields
[G] It was honest, it was simple, [D] and it helped the hard times heal
[A] It was music, they sang it deep down in the mines
