The Kingston Trio – Brown Mountain Light (Guitar)

C                             Dm                                     C
In the hills of North Carolina, since the time of the early settlers

                                                   F
A strange light has been witnessed near the top of Brown Mountain

        Dm7                                C                             G
To this day, no one can explain the mystery of the Brown Mountain Light

C  F          C            Am                   C
High__ on the mountain and down in the valley below

C
It shines like the crown of an angel

    Am                          G7
And fades as the mist comes and goes

C  F        C       Bb                      C
Way___ over yonder, night after night until dawn

                                         Am
A faithful old slave, come back from the grave (searchin')

        C             G          C
For his master who is long, long gone

C
In the days of the old covered wagon

          Am                         C
When they camped on the flat for the night

                                                 Am
With the stars growing dim on the old high gorge rim

           C             F              C
They would watch for the Brown Mountain Light

   F          C            Am                   C
High__ on the mountain and down in the valley below

C
It shines like the crown of an angel

    Am                          G7
And fades as the mist comes and goes

C  F        C       Bb                      C
Way___ over yonder, night after night until dawn

                                         Am
A faithful old slave, come back from the grave (searchin')

        C             G          C
For his master who is long, long gone

C
Long years ago a southern planter

     Am                         C
Came hunting in this wild land alone

                                           Am
And here, so they say, the hunter lost his way

    C       F             C
And never returned to his home

C
His trusty old slave brought a lantern

    Am                             C
And searched, but in vain, day and night

                                              Am
The old slave is gone, but his spirit wanders on

        C           F               C
And the old lantern still casts its light

   F          C            Am                   C
High__ on the mountain and down in the valley below

C
It shines like the crown of an angel

    Am                          G7
And fades as the mist comes and goes

C  F        C       Bb                      C
Way___ over yonder, night after night until dawn

                                         Am
A faithful old slave, come back from the grave (searchin')

        C             G          C
For his master who is long, long gone

                                         Am
A faithful old slave, come back from the grave (searchin')

        C             G          C
For his master who is long, long gone

                      G          C
For his master who is long, long gone
