_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ I was born on this mountain _ a _ long [A] [Bm] time ago _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] Before they knocked down the [E] timber
_ [G] And they stripped mine of [Bm] coal _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] When you rose in the morning
_ _ _ For it [Bm] was light _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] When down in that [B] dark hole
I [D] come back up at [Bm] night
_ I _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ was [D] _
born on this mountain _ _
This _ [Bm] mountain's my home _
_ _ _ _ [D] And she holds me and [E] keeps me
_ [G] From [D] worry and [A] _ _ woe
_ _ _ Well, [D] they took _ _ everything _ that
She gave, now [Bm] they're gone _ _
_ _ _ But [D] I'll die on this [E] _ mountain
[G] This _ [D] mountain's my home _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ I was young on this mountain _ _
And _ I'm [Bm] old _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ And [D] I knew _ [B] every [Em] holler
Every [D] cool swimming [Bm] hole _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D]
Till one night I laid down _
_ Woke up to [Bm] find
_ _ That _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] my childhood [Em] was over
_ [G] When down in the [Bm] mine _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
I [D] was born on this mountain
_ This _ _ [Bm] mountain's my home _ _ _ _ _
[D] And she holds me [E] and [B] keeps me
From [D] worry [A] and _ _ woe _ _ _
Well, [D] they took _ _ everything _ that
She gave, now [Bm] they're _ gone
_ _ _ _ But [D] I'll die on this [E] _ mountain
_ [G] This [D] mountain's my home

_ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ There's a hole in this mountain _
It's _ _ dark and [Bm] steep
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] God _ only [B] knows all [D] the secrets it keeps
[Bm] _
There's _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] a chill in the air _ _
Only _ miners [A] [Bm] can _ feel
_ And _ _ [D]
there's ghosts in the [Em] tunnels _
That [E] the company _ [B] sealed
[Bm] _
I _ [F#] _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
was [D] born on this mountain
_ This _ _ [Bm] mountain's my home _ _ _ _ _
And [D] she holds me and [E] keeps me
[D] From worry _ [A] and woe _ _ _ _ _
Well, [D] they took _ _ everything that
_ She gave, now [Bm] they're gone _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] But I'll die on [E] this mountain
_ [D] This _ mountain's my _ home _ _ _ _ _
