[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# A#m
for a job - driving coal
[Chorus]
F# G# A#m F#
And that coal mountain blocks the sun from my window
F# G# A#m
Standing in the horizon so stern and strong
F# G# A#m F#
The coal mountain, within five miles of it nothing grows
F# G# A#m
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
A#m
- and she never came home
[Chorus]
F# G# A#m F#
And that coal mountain blocks the sun from my window
F# G# A#m
Standing in the horizon so stern and strong
F# G# A#m F#
The coal mountain, within five miles of it nothing grows
F# G# A#m
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# A#m
and left them both - I left them both behind
[Chorus]
F# G# A#m F#
And the coal mountain blocks the moonlight from the road
F# G# A#m
Disappearing in the horizon as I go
F# G# A#m F#
The coal mountain, within five miles of it nothing grows
F# G# A#m
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
