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