Verse 1
G 
F 
Black Mountain
C 
Gm 
G 
with a 60 -watt bulb
F 
Snowfall on the cedars
C 
G 
and snow on the tube
Bb 
With breath in my veins,
C 
G 
I'm high on a hill
D 
Dm 
On the top of Black Mountain
G 
Edna drove down to town
F 
C 
G 
on a cigarette run
F 
Said she's going to the get -and -go,
C 
G 
but she just got gone
Bb 
I've been alone here six days now,
G 
C 
G 
strung out shivering.
Gm 
I   cranked up mine dangling
F 
C 
G 
from an unraveling stream
F 
G 
C 
G 
D 
Dm 
on the top of Black Mountain.
C 
F 
By the light of a bad bulb
G 
and a butt -naked moon
C 
I'd tie off my arm
Bb 
and I'd heat up that spoon
D 
G 
And I'd shoot up that crook,
C 
G 
Lord, I'm shooting to kill
F 
All this pain in my heart,
C 
G 
but it keeps hurting still
On the top of Black Mountain
Bb 
G 
D 
Dm 
D 
Dm 
F 
Dm 
G 
Well, the snow sounds like static
Dm 
C 
G 
and it drifts like quiet noise
F 
C 
It covers the cabin and leaves me no choice
G 
Gm 
Bb 
And no car, no more methane,
C 
G 
no sign of spring
F 
C 
G 
Now my angel and devil step into the ring
F 
C 
G 
On the top of Black Mountain
C 
F 
There's a 60 -watt sun
G 
and a starvation moon
C 
Bb 
Ash in the wood stove
D 
and I'll be gone soon
G 
Shot from this cabin
F 
C 
G 
on the brink of the hill
Dm 
F 
C 
G 
A devil, smiles an  d  moves in for the kill
Dm 
G 
D 
Dm 
On the top of Black Mountain
G 
F 
Up on Black Mountain
C 
G 
with a brown burned -out bow
F 
Snow bends the cedars,
C 
G 
no show on the two
Bb 
With death in my veins,
C 
I'm down on the hill
G 
F 
G 
Oh, I'm down on Black Mountain
I'm gone on Black Mountain
F 
G 
I'm gone on Black Mountain you
