[Verse 1]
A# F D# A#
I went to the funeral of my old man today
A# F D# A#
The urn that he came home in was a charcoal shade of grey
A# F D# A#
He wanted his ashes spread across the prairies of the USA
A# F
'Cause he loved John Wayne, the American dream but he
D# A#
never made it out that way
A# F
Spent his whole damn life working for the man at the
D# A#
power plant driving coal
A# F
He shoveled that shit from a mountain high and that
D# A#
mountain broke his soul
[Bridge]
D# A#
He was driving coal when I was born
A# D# A#
And he drove it until he was gone
A# D#
and the only time he hit me was when I asked him
D# F Gm
for a job - driving coal
[Chorus]
D# F Gm D#
And that coal mountain blocks the sun from my window
D# F Gm
Standing in the horizon so stern and strong
D# F Gm D#
The coal mountain, within five miles of it nothing grows
D# F Gm
I've lived in the shadow of that mountain all my life
F
All my life
[Verse 2]
A# F D# A#
Now the service it was simple just the kind he would have liked
A# F
And Mama wept as she read those words about
D# A#
the dying of the light
A# F
That same night the snow came down and for
D# A#
a moment it was all white
A# F
But the ash in the air turns everything here
D# A#
grey like that mountainside
[Bridge]
D# A#
And when we got to who gets what
D# A#
It sure turned ugly enough
D# F
One grey morning Mama left the house in her robe
Gm
- and she never came home
[Chorus]
D# F Gm D#
And that coal mountain blocks the sun from my window
D# F Gm
Standing in the horizon so stern and strong
D# F Gm D#
The coal mountain, within five miles of it nothing grows
D# F Gm
I've lived in the shadow of that mountain all my life
F
All my life
[Solo]
A# F D# A#
A# F D# A#
[Verse 3]
A# F D# A#
His ashes never made it to prairies of the USA
A# F D# A#
Visas are a nightmare and getting harder every day
[Bridge]
D# A#
Instead I went in the dead of night
D# A#
Buried the urn in the mountain side
D#
Said: "Here it stops", poured some whiskey on top
F Gm
and left them both - I left them both behind
[Chorus]
D# F Gm D#
And the coal mountain blocks the moonlight from the road
D# F Gm
Disappearing in the horizon as I go
D# F Gm D#
The coal mountain, within five miles of it nothing grows
D# F Gm
I won't live in its shadow for a moment more
D# F A#
I won't live in its shadow for a moment more
