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

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