Fire On The Mountain
Marshall Tucker Band

Em                             C
Took my fam'ly away from my Carolina home
We were diggin' and siftin' from five to five
Dance hall girls were the evenin' treat
Now my widow she weeps by my grave

Em                             C
Had dreams about the West and started to roam
sellin' everything we found just to stay alive
Empty cartridges and blood lined the gutters of the street
Tears flow free for her man she couldn't save

Em                             C
Six long months on a dust covered trail
gold flowed free like the whiskey in the bars
Men were shot down for the sake of fun
Shot down in cold blood by a gun that carried fame

Em                             C
They say heaven's at the end but so far it's been hell, And there's
sinnin' was the big thing, lord and Satan was his star, And there's
Or just to hear the noise of their forty four guns, And there's
All for a useless and no good worthless claim, And there's

G                         D
    Fire on the mountain,      lightnin' in the air

Am                           C          Em               (  C            G   )
     Gold in them hills and it's waitin for me there            (Waitin 4 me there)
