[Verse 1]
A E D A
I went to the funeral of my old man today
A E D A
The urn that he came home in was a charcoal shade of grey
A E D A
He wanted his ashes spread across the prairies of the USA
A E
'Cause he loved John Wayne, the American dream but he
D A
never made it out that way
A E
Spent his whole damn life working for the man at the
D A
power plant driving coal
A E
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 E F#m
for a job - driving coal
[Chorus]
D E F#m D
And that coal mountain blocks the sun from my window
D E F#m
Standing in the horizon so stern and strong
D E F#m D
The coal mountain, within five miles of it nothing grows
D E F#m
I've lived in the shadow of that mountain all my life
E
All my life
[Verse 2]
A E D A
Now the service it was simple just the kind he would have liked
A E
And Mama wept as she read those words about
D A
the dying of the light
A E
That same night the snow came down and for
D A
a moment it was all white
A E
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 E
One grey morning Mama left the house in her robe
F#m
- and she never came home
[Chorus]
D E F#m D
And that coal mountain blocks the sun from my window
D E F#m
Standing in the horizon so stern and strong
D E F#m D
The coal mountain, within five miles of it nothing grows
D E F#m
I've lived in the shadow of that mountain all my life
E
All my life
[Solo]
A E D A
A E D A
[Verse 3]
A E D A
His ashes never made it to prairies of the USA
A E 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
E F#m
and left them both - I left them both behind
[Chorus]
D E F#m D
And the coal mountain blocks the moonlight from the road
D E F#m
Disappearing in the horizon as I go
D E F#m D
The coal mountain, within five miles of it nothing grows
D E F#m
I won't live in its shadow for a moment more
D E A
I won't live in its shadow for a moment more
