Steve Earle – The Girl On The Mountain (Guitar)

          G                                   D
There's a girl up on the mountain I once knew

  G                                   D
I let her go and now I'm sad and blue

    Bm                A
But sometimes late at night I pray

D                   G      G/F#
She'll come down to me someday

        Em7/B          A                   D
But the girl up on the mountain never knew

        G                                     D
So she gave herself to someone else back then

G                                    D
Thought I'd never see her face again

Bm               A
Found a new love of my own

D                  G         G/F#
Broke my heart and now she's gone

        Em7/B          A                     D
But the girl up on the mountain still remains

  Bm            A
I wish I may, I wish I might

   G            D
On every star I see tonight

  Bm               A
A million diamonds up above

D                 G     G/F#
Shine down on the one I love

    Em7/B        A                         D
The poets have a thousand tales they tell

 G                                       D
About love that didn't work out well

    Bm           A
And me I sleep alright tonight

       D              G        G/F#
'Cause in my dreams I hold her tight

        Em7/B          A                        D
But the girl up on the mountain's up there still

                   Em7/B   A              G       D
Oh, and I love her now,    guess I always will
