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