The Carter Family – On A Hill Lone And Gray (Guitar)

     F
On a hill lone and gray

     Bb        F
In a land far away

                             C
In a country beyond the blue sea

      F
Where beneath that far sky

       Bb         F
Went a man for to die

                      C           F
For the world and for you and for me

      Bb
Oh it bows down my heart

        F
And the tear drops do start

                                C
When in memory that gray hill I see

       F
It was there on its side

      Bb              F
Jesus suffered yes he died

                 C           F
To redeem a poor sinner like me

      F
Oft I hear the dull blow

       Bb           F
Of the hammer swung low

                                C
They are nailing my lord to the tree

         F
With the cross he upraised

          Bb        F
While the multitude gazed

                 C             F
He ascended that hill lone and gray

      Bb
Oh it bows down my heart

        F
And the tear drops do start

                                C
When in memory that gray hill I see

       F
It was there on its side

      Bb              F
Jesus suffered yes he died

                 C           F
To redeem a poor sinner like me

       Bb
Shout aloud to them I’m told

        F
Let the glad tidings roll

                                C
From the land to the end of the sea

        F
Where beneath that far sky

       Bb         F
Went a man for to die

                      C           F
For the world and for you and for me
