Fire On The Mountain Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

EmTook my fam'ly away from my CCarolina home

EmHad dreams about the West and Cstarted to roam

EmSix long months on a Cdust covered trail

EmThey say heaven's at the end but Cso far it's been hell

Chorus

CAnd there's Gfire on the mountain, Dlightnin' in the air

Amgold in them hills and it's Cwaitin' for me Emthere

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
