Verse 1
(G major) He was (C major) born in Dixon, Holland in 1893
Never (G major) (C major) had no running water,
no electricity
(G major) He (D major) raised his own tobacco
and he raised (C major) a family
And he (A minor) always said
you can't go wrong with life
(D major) If you do what's mountain bright (G major)
Stand your ground straight and tall
Mountain bright (C major)
Hold on proud if you must fall
This has (A minor) always been our (E minor) land
And I (C major) love it more than life
(B minor) When I (A minor) die I know that (D major) I
Left mountain (G major) ride
A (C major) car rolled up one day
The U .S. highway on the door
(G major) The (C major) interstate is coming through
You can't live here anymore
(G major) The (D major) old man said my pa lived here
And (C major) my grandpa before
And (A minor) I ain't giving up
without a fight (D major)
Gonna do what's mountain right (G major)
They (C major) came back to give him
one last chance
To change his (G major) mind
They (C major) came with guns and dogs
And talked through megaphones
This time (G major)
The (D major) old man said, I told you once
I'm (C major) not the running kind
And if (A minor) you boys don't shoot first
I just (D major) might
And I'll be mountain bright (G major)
Gonna stand my ground
straight and tall
Mountain bright (C major)
And say to hell with all of y 'all
If you're (A minor) gonna take my land
(E minor) You're gonna (C major) have to take my life
(B minor) But when I (A minor) die,
I'll know that (D major) I was mountain (G major) drivin'
Now if (C major) you gas up addiction,
ask anyone in (G major) town
They'll (C major) point you to a cabin
that the highway goes around
(G major) You (D major) can be the headstone
where his (C major) epitaph is found
It says (A minor) God may judge him
in a different light
(D major) But here he was mountain bright (G major)
Stood his ground straight and tall
Mountain bright (C major)
Said I'll fall proud if I must fall
This has (A minor) always been his land
(E minor) And he (C major) loved it more than life
(B minor) And when he (A minor) died
He knew inside (D major)
That he was mountain (G major) bright
He was (C major) born in Dixon, Holland
In 1893 (G major)
Never (C major) had no running water
No electricity
He (G major) raised (D major) his own tobacco
and he raised (C major) a family
And (A minor) he always said
you can't go wrong in life
(D major) If you do what's mountain (C major) right (G major) (C major)
If you do what's mountain right (G major) (C major)
(G major) Gonna stand (C major) proud, gonna stand tall,
just say to hell with all of y (G major) 'all, (C major)
do what's mountain mild. (G major)
