VERSE 1: AmAm/G# Just you and me and a little white pup, Am/GAm/F# Sittin' here waiting for the sun to come up, FΔ Bm11 E7 To keep the chill away. AmAm/G# Drinkin' our coffee at the first crack of dawn, Am/GAm/F# Watchin' a doe while she nuzzles her fawn, FΔ D7 It's my favorite time of the day.
CHORUS: GCBmC Hi-----gh Lonesome. GAD God don't ever let this mountain change. GCBmC Hi-----gh Lonesome. GADC#-D-E7 I hope you will always stay the same.
VERSE 2: AmAm/G# Sometimes in the evening when it’s all kinda still, Am/GAm/F# Sweet mountain music floats over the hill, FΔ Bm11 E7 On a laurel-scented breeze. AmAm/G# Sometimes when nightbirds are scolding the mist, Am/GAm/F# I think I might know where heaven is, FΔ D7 It's just above the trees.
CHORUS: GCBmC Hi-----gh Lonesome. GAD God don't ever let this mountain change. GCBmC Hi-----gh Lonesome. GADC#-D-E7 I hope you will always stay the same.
VERSE 3: AmAm/G# Watchin' my summertimes turnin' to falls, Am/GAm/F# Seein' my son growing honest and tall, FΔ Bm11 E7 Keeps me satisfied. AmAm/G# If I live forever or I die today, Am/GAm/F# All I would ask is you just let me lay here, FΔ D7 On this mountainside.
CHORUS: GCBmC Hi-----gh Lonesome. GCBmC Hi-----gh Lonesome. GCBmC Hi-----gh Lonesome. G (hold to end)
