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