Verse
C G C
Well I was born in a manger in Texas
F G
All the pintos and paints come round
C F C Am
My days there were troubled and restless
C G C
All the bad news that I looked for, I found
C G C
My welcome wore thin down in Texas
F G
For reasons you probably know
C F C Am
So I roped and I broke and I rambled too
C G C
To where the sage and the pinon grow
[Chorus]
C G C
Blue mountain, you're azure deep
F G
Blue mountain, your sides are steep
C F C Am
Blue mountain with a horse head on your side
C G Am
You stolen my love to keep
C G C
You stolen my love to keep
[Verse]
C G C
Now I chug with ol’ Attago Gordon
F G
I drink at the blue goose salooon
C F C Am
And I dance all night with the mormon girls
C G C
Ride home our way lit by the moon
C G C
Here is a snake in the rainbow
F G
And here is the balsom and bow
C F C Am
And here are the ladders of light up to heaven
C G C
But blue mountain is all I need now
[Chorus]
C G C
Blue mountain, you're azure deep
F G
Blue mountain, your sides are steep
C F C Am
Blue mountain with a horse head on your side
C G Am
You stolen my love to keep
C G C
You stolen my love to keep
[Verse]
C G C
Oh, what kind of cut purse is the evening
F G
To scatter her diamonds behind
C F C Am
We're all given a first and a last love
C G C
And blue mountain will be both of mine
[Chorus]
C G C
Blue mountain, you're azure deep
F G
Blue mountain, your sides are steep
C F C Am
Blue mountain with a horse head on your side
C G Am
You stolen my love to keep
C G C
You stolen my love to keep
