[Verse 1]
D A G D
I went to the funeral of my old man today
D A G D
The urn that he came home in was a charcoal shade of grey
D A G D
He wanted his ashes spread across the prairies of the USA
D A
'Cause he loved John Wayne, the American dream but he
G D
never made it out that way
D A
Spent his whole damn life working for the man at the
G D
power plant driving coal
D A
He shoveled that shit from a mountain high and that
G D
mountain broke his soul
[Bridge]
G D
He was driving coal when I was born
D G D
And he drove it until he was gone
D G
and the only time he hit me was when I asked him
G A Bm
for a job - driving coal
[Chorus]
G A Bm G
And that coal mountain blocks the sun from my window
G A Bm
Standing in the horizon so stern and strong
G A Bm G
The coal mountain, within five miles of it nothing grows
G A Bm
I've lived in the shadow of that mountain all my life
A
All my life
[Verse 2]
D A G D
Now the service it was simple just the kind he would have liked
D A
And Mama wept as she read those words about
G D
the dying of the light
D A
That same night the snow came down and for
G D
a moment it was all white
D A
But the ash in the air turns everything here
G D
grey like that mountainside
[Bridge]
G D
And when we got to who gets what
G D
It sure turned ugly enough
G A
One grey morning Mama left the house in her robe
Bm
- and she never came home
[Chorus]
G A Bm G
And that coal mountain blocks the sun from my window
G A Bm
Standing in the horizon so stern and strong
G A Bm G
The coal mountain, within five miles of it nothing grows
G A Bm
I've lived in the shadow of that mountain all my life
A
All my life
[Solo]

D A G D
[Verse 3]
D A G D
His ashes never made it to prairies of the USA
D A G D
Visas are a nightmare and getting harder every day
[Bridge]
G D
Instead I went in the dead of night
G D
Buried the urn in the mountain side
G
Said: "Here it stops", poured some whiskey on top
A Bm
and left them both - I left them both behind
[Chorus]
G A Bm G
And the coal mountain blocks the moonlight from the road
G A Bm
Disappearing in the horizon as I go
G A Bm G
The coal mountain, within five miles of it nothing grows
G A Bm
I won't live in its shadow for a moment more
G A D
I won't live in its shadow for a moment more
