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