[Intro] Am G [Verse]
Am                                   G
The trees have been cleared, there’s fire in the hole

G                        Am
The charges are set, the trucks are ready to roll

Am                        G
The countdown’s begun, we know what’s in store

G                           G
It’s man against nature but only man is at war
Am G Am [Verse]
Am                                   G 
They won’t bargain with nature, they won’t call a truce

G                             Am
And in a corner of heaven all hell breaks loose

Am                        G
With a fury of fire and a thundering roar

G                           Am
The mountain is changed, it's not the same anymore

Am   G  Am
 
[Chorus]
C            G
Hey, hey, is that how it goes?

G                            Am
Blast away a mountain so the coal is exposed

Am                    G
Clear all the trees, let the streams run dry

G                      Am
All for the spoils of a mountaintop mine
Am G Am [Verse]
Am                          G  
We heard the explosion, we felt the ground shake

G                    Am
The Lord giveth, the coal companies take

Am              G
Clouds of dust darkened the sky

G              Am
Leaving behind a mountaintop mine
  [Chorus]
C            G
Hey, hey, is that how it goes?

G                            Am
Blast away a mountain so the coal is exposed

Am                    G
Clear all the trees, let the streams run dry

G                      Am
All for the spoils of a mountaintop mine
Am G Am [Verse]
Am                        G
We rely on Mother Nature, we have to be smart

G                            Am
There are no second chances, listen to your heart

Am                            G
Don’t be fooled into thinking you have nothing to fear

G                        Am
Because I heard them say it couldn’t happen here
  [Chorus]
C            G
Hey, hey, is that how it goes?

G                            Am
Blast away a mountain so the coal is exposed

Am                    G
Clear all the trees, let the streams run dry

G                      Am
All for the spoils of a mountaintop mine
Am G Am [Verse]
Am                                   G
The trees have been cleared, there’s fire in the hole

G                        Am
The charges are set, the trucks are ready to roll
[Outro] G Am G Am
