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

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