"High On A Mountain" by Del McCoury

Verse 2

     G             D            G
As I looked at the valleys down below
                        D              G
They were green just as far as I could see.
             F            G                C
As my memory returned, oh how my heart did yearn
    G           D                G
for you and the day that used to be.

Chorus

G         F            G            C
High on a mountain oh, wind blowin' free
G                  D                 G
Thinking about the days that used to be.
          F            G            C
High on a mountain oh, standin' all alone
G                   D                    G
Wondering where the years of my life has flown.

Verse 3

     G                  D        G
Oh I wonder if you ever think of me
                       D        G
or if time has blotted out your memory.
                   F               G                  C
As I listen to the breeze, whisper gently through the trees
     G              D                 G
I'll always cherish what you meant to me.

Chorus

G         F            G            C
High on a mountain oh, wind blowin' free
G                  D                 G
Thinking about the days that used to be.
          F            G            C
High on a mountain oh, standin' all alone
G                   D                    G
Wondering where the years of my life has flown.

Chorus

G         F            G            C
High on a mountain oh, wind blowin' free
G                  D                 G
Thinking about the days that used to be.
          F            G            C
High on a mountain oh, standin' all alone
G                   D                    G
Wondering where the years of my life has flown.
