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