Verse 1
G
We climbed upon a mountain,
Bill Monroe and I
C
G
So I could see the light that shines
D
G
in Carter Stanley's eyes
Bill Monroe had me drive
him from Tennessee
C
up to the Clinch Mountains
G
to meet with Carter Stanley
at the Stanley Brothers' old home place
and we came up on that mountain
D
to a cleared field
and there was Carter sitting there
G
I think he wanted to see Bill,
because he had a feeling of mortality
C
G
at that time.
And Bill Monroe introduced
me to Carter Stanley
D
and said, Carter, this here's Pete Rhomes.
G
He thinks he's a bluegrass boy.
We climbed upon a mountain,
Bill Monroe and I,
C
G
So I could see the light that shone
D
G
D
in Carter's dainty eyes
G
And Carter looked at me
and said, Are you gonna stick with it, son?
C
I said, Yes, sir.
G
And Carter looked at Bill Monroe
and said, Well, all right.
And Bill looked at Carter
D
and said, You were one of the best
of the Bluegrass Boys,
G
Carter, and my favorite lead singer,
C
G
and we shared something
in that moment,
a kind of a portal
that might have opened
D
up about the music,
G
and I could see the light that shines
in Carter Stanley's eyes.
Oh, we climbed up on a mountain,
Bill Monroe and I,
C
G
so I could see the light that shines
D
and Carter Stanley's eye.
