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