[Verse 1]
Em C Took my family away from my Carolina home Em C Had dreams about the West and started to roam Em C Six long months on a dust covered trail Em C They say heaven's at the end, but so far it's been hell
[Chorus]
G D And there's fire on the mountain, lightnin' in the air Am C Em C Em C Gold in them hills and it's waitin' for me there
[Verse 2]
Em C We were diggin' and siftin' from five to five Em C Sellin' everything we found just to stay alive Em C Gold flowed free like the whiskey in the bars Em C Sinnin' was the big thing, Lord, and Satan was the star
[Chorus]
G D And there's fire on the mountain, lightnin' in the air Am C Em C Em C Gold in them hills and it's waitin' for me there
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
Em C Dance hall girls were the evenin' treat Em C Empty cartridges and blood lined the gutters of the street Em C Men were shot down for the sake of fun Em C Or just to hear the noise of their forty four guns
[Chorus]
G D And there's fire on the mountain, lightnin' in the air Am C Em C Em C Gold in them hills and it's waitin' for me there
[Verse 4]
Em C Now my widow, she weeps by my grave Em C Tears flow free for her man she couldn't save Em C Shot down in cold blood by a gun that carried fame Em C All for a useless and no good, worthless claim
[Chorus]
G D And there's fire on the mountain, lightnin' in the air Am C G Gold in them hills and it's waitin' for me there G D Fire on the mountain, lightnin' in the air Am C Em Gold in them hills and it's waitin' for me there C G Waitin' for me there...
