[C] [Em] Took my family away from [C] my Carolina home
[Em] Had dreams about the [C] West and started to [Em] roam
Six long months on [C] a dust-covered trail
[Em] They say heaven's at the end but [C] so far it's [Am] been hell
[G] And there's fire on the mountain, [D] lightning in the air
[Am]
Holding them [C] hills and it's great for [Em] me there
[C] We [Em]
[C] [Em] were digging and [C] shifting from five to five
[Em] Selling everything we found [C] just to stay alive
[Em] Gold flowed free like [C] the whiskey in the [Em] bar
Sending was the big thing, [C] Lord, and Sid was star
[G] And there's fire on the mountain, [D] lightning in the air
[Am]
Holding them [C] hills and it's great for [Em] me

[C] Dance [Am] [Em]
hall girls were [C] the evening [Em] tree
Empty carts and [C] bloodlines the gooders of the [Em] street
Men were shot down [C] for the sake of [Em] fun
Or just to hear the [C] noise of their .44
guns
[G] And there's fire on the [D] mountain, lightning in the [Am] air
Holding them [C] hills and it's great [Em] for me there
Now
[C] [Am] [Em] my widow, [C] she reached by my [Em] grave
Tears flowed free for [C] her, man, she couldn't [Em] say
Shot down in cold blood [C] by a gun that carried [Em] fame
All for a useless [C] and no good wordless [G] claim
And there's fire on the mountain, [D] lightning in the [Am] air
Holding them [C] hills and it's great for [G] me there
Fire on the mountain, [D] lightning in the [Am] air
Holding them hills and [C] it's great for [Em] me there
[C] Great for [G] me there
