[Verse]
C G
You see the corpse laid out before you
G D
You see the mountain’s blood run black
G C
Oh she was killed while she lay sleeping
G D G
And they can never never bring her back
G C
For a long time the coal was hidden
G D
The mountains life surged through her veins
G
And then they tapped
C
and they drilled and blasted
G D
And now she’s gone- she’s gone
G
and who’s to blame
[Chorus]
G C
Oh but they say hey we’re gonna put it back
G D
We’re gonna put back just like we found it
G
And then they make a wreck & call it
C
reclamation
G
They pick away the beauty and they
D
leave an open sore
G C
Now you boys know you can’t put it back
G D
You can’t put it back just like you found it
G
There’s a whole lotta sky where there
C
used to be mountain
G
Now there ain’t no mountain where there
D G
was before
C G
Now there’s nothing that is casual
G D
about the costs and the casualties
G C
It’s hard to watch a mountain Murdered
G D G
Oh she can’t be buried only grieved
G C
And there is life out in these coal fields
G D
that has been lost to those coal mines
G C
Because it’s mostly now a mine field
G D G
A money war of the killin kind
[Chorus]
G C
Oh but they say hey we’re gonna put it back
G D
We’re gonna put back just like we found it
G
And then they make a wreck & call it
C
reclamation
G
They pick away the beauty and they
D
leave an open sore
G C
Now you boys know you can’t put it back
G D
You can’t put it back just like you found it
G
There’s a whole lotta sky where there
C
used to be mountain
G
Now there ain’t no mountain where there
D G
was before
C G
You see them scrape away her essence
G D
You see them take away her bones and flesh
G C
And you get used to bitter water
G D
And you forget -you forget
G
it once was fresh
G C
They strip and gouge till they find riches
G D
They simply can’t believe their luck
G C
They chop the top off of the mountain
G D
And they haul her heart haul it off
G
away in trucks
[Chorus]
G C
Oh but they say hey we’re gonna put it back
G D
We’re gonna put back just like we found it
G
And then they make a wreck & call it
C
reclamation
G
They pick away the beauty and they
D
leave an open sore
G C
Now you boys know you can’t put it back
G D
You can’t put it back just like you found it
G
There’s a whole lotta sky where there
C
used to be mountain
G
Now there ain’t no mountain where there
D G
was before
G C
Oh there ain’t no mountain where there
D G
was before
G C
Oh there ain’t no mountain
