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

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