Fire On The Mountain

Em C Took my fam'ly away from my Carolina home Em C Had dreams about the West and started to roam Em C Six long months on a dust covered trail Em C They say heaven's at the end but so far it's been hell chorus C G D And there's fire on the mountain, lightnin' in the air Am C Em gold in them hills and it's waitin' for me there We were diggin' and siftin' from five to five sellin' everything we found just to stay alive gold flowed free like the whiskey in the bars sinnin' was the big thing, lord and Satan was his star chorus Dance hall girls were the evenin' treat Empty cartridges and blood lined the gutters of the street Men were shot down for the sake of fun Or just to hear the noise of their forty four guns chorus Now my widow she weeps by my grave Tears flow free for her man she couldn't save Shot down in cold blood by a gun that carried fame All for a useless and no good worthless claim chorus (2x) (end on G instead of Em) ----------------------------------------------------------- jk13@aol.com (John Kearney) "If we do not change direction, we will end up where we are headed."
