[Verse 1]
C G F C
I went to the funeral of my old man today
C G F C
The urn that he came home in was a charcoal shade of grey
C G F C
He wanted his ashes spread across the prairies of the USA
C G
'Cause he loved John Wayne, the American dream but he
F C
never made it out that way
C G
Spent his whole damn life working for the man at the
F C
power plant driving coal
C G
He shoveled that shit from a mountain high and that
F C
mountain broke his soul
[Bridge]
F C
He was driving coal when I was born
C F C
And he drove it until he was gone
C F
and the only time he hit me was when I asked him
F G Am
for a job - driving coal
[Chorus]
F G Am F
And that coal mountain blocks the sun from my window
F G Am
Standing in the horizon so stern and strong
F G Am F
The coal mountain, within five miles of it nothing grows
F G Am
I've lived in the shadow of that mountain all my life
G
All my life
[Verse 2]
C G F C
Now the service it was simple just the kind he would have liked
C G
And Mama wept as she read those words about
F C
the dying of the light
C G
That same night the snow came down and for
F C
a moment it was all white
C G
But the ash in the air turns everything here
F C
grey like that mountainside
[Bridge]
F C
And when we got to who gets what
F C
It sure turned ugly enough
F G
One grey morning Mama left the house in her robe
Am
- and she never came home
[Chorus]
F G Am F
And that coal mountain blocks the sun from my window
F G Am
Standing in the horizon so stern and strong
F G Am F
The coal mountain, within five miles of it nothing grows
F G Am
I've lived in the shadow of that mountain all my life
G
All my life
[Solo]
C G F C
C G F C
[Verse 3]
C G F C
His ashes never made it to prairies of the USA
C G F C
Visas are a nightmare and getting harder every day
[Bridge]
F C
Instead I went in the dead of night
F C
Buried the urn in the mountain side
F
Said: "Here it stops", poured some whiskey on top
G Am
and left them both - I left them both behind
[Chorus]
F G Am F
And the coal mountain blocks the moonlight from the road
F G Am
Disappearing in the horizon as I go
F G Am F
The coal mountain, within five miles of it nothing grows
F G Am
I won't live in its shadow for a moment more
F G C
I won't live in its shadow for a moment more
