Bm Bm
[Verse]
D Bm I was born on this mountain a long time ago D Em G Bm Before they knocked down the timber and strip-mined the coal D Bm When you rose in the mornin' before it was light D Em G Bm A To go down in that dark hole and come back up at night
[Chorus]
D Bm I was born on this mountain, this mountain's my home D Em G A And she holds me and keeps me from worry and woe D Bm Well, they took everything that she gave, now they're gone D Em G D But I'll die on this mountain, this mountain's my home
[Verse]
D Bm I was young on this mountain but now I am old D Em G Bm And I knew every holler, every cool swimmin' hole D Bm Till one night I lay down and woke up to find D Em G Bm A That my childhood was over and I went down in the mine
[Chorus]
D Bm I was born on this mountain, this mountain's my home D Em G A And she holds me and keeps me from worry and woe D Bm Well, they took everything that she gave, now they're gone D Em G D But I'll die on this mountain, this mountain's my home

[Verse]
D Bm There's a hole in this mountain and it's dark and it's deep D Em G Bm And God only knows all the secrets it keeps D Bm There's a chill in the air only miners can feel D Em G Bm A There're ghosts in the tunnels that the company sealed
[Chorus]
D Bm I was born on this mountain, this mountain's my home D Em G A And she holds me and keeps me from worry and woe D Bm Well, they took everything that she gave, now they're gone D Em G D But I'll die on this mountain, this mountain's my home
