[Verse 1]
Em C
Took my family away from my Carolina home
Em C
Had dreams about the west and I started to roam
Em C
Six long months on that dust covered trail,
Em C
They say heaven's at the end but so far it's been hell.
 
[Chorus]
G
And there's Fire on the Mountain
D
Lightening in the air.
Am C
Gold in them hills and it's
Em C
Waiting for me there.
 
[Verse 2]
Em C
We was diggin' and siftin' from five to five
Em C
Sellin’ everything we had just to stay alive
Em C
Gold flowed free like the whiskey in the bar
Em C
Sinnin' was the best thing Lord, and Satan was the star.
 
[Chorus]
G
And there's Fire on the Mountain
D
Lightening in the air.
Am C
Gold in them hills and it's
Em C
Waiting for me there.
 
[Verse 3]
Em C
Dance hall girls was the evenin' treat
Em C
Empty cartons and blood in the street
Em C
Men were shot down for the sake of fun
Em C
Or just to hear the noise of their black powder guns.
 
[Chorus]
G
And there's Fire on the Mountain
D
Lightening in the air.
Am C
Gold in them hills and it's
Em C
Waiting for me there.
 
[Verse 4]
Em C
Now my widow she weeps by my grave
Em C
Tears flow free for her man, she couldn't save
Em C
Shot down in cold blood by a gun that carried fame
Em C
All for a useless and no good, worthless claim.
 
[Chorus]
G
And there's Fire on the Mountain
D
Lightening in the air.
Am C
Gold in them hills and it's
Em C
Waiting for me there.
 
[Chorus]
G
And there's Fire on the Mountain
D
Lightening in the air.
Am C
Gold in them hills and it's
Em C
Waiting for me there.
N.C.
Waiting for me there, waiting for me there (softly)
