VERSE 1:
Am Am/G#
Just you and me and a little white pup,
Am/G Am/F#
Sittin' here waiting for the sun to come up,
FΔ Bm11 E7
To keep the chill away.

Drinkin' our coffee at the first crack of dawn,
Am/G Am/F#
Watchin' a doe while she nuzzles her fawn,

It's my favorite time of the day.

Hi-----gh Lonesome.

God don't ever let this mountain change.
G C Bm C
Hi-----gh Lonesome.
G A D C#-D-E7
I hope you will always stay the same.
VERSE 2:
Am Am/G#
Sometimes in the evening when it’s all kinda still,
Am/G Am/F#
Sweet mountain music floats over the hill,
FΔ Bm11 E7
On a laurel-scented breeze.
Am Am/G#
Sometimes when nightbirds are scolding the mist,
Am/G Am/F#
I think I might know where heaven is,
FΔ D7
It's just above the trees.
CHORUS:
G C Bm C
Hi-----gh Lonesome.
G A D
God don't ever let this mountain change.

If I live forever or I die today,

All I would ask is you just let me lay here,
