Ken Rosen, Ryan Schindler

Key of G · Chords: I IV V

Verse 1

G                            C
I was born in a Cabin on the Mountain,
G                       D
60 years ago I left for city life
G                             C
I moved job to job and soon I prospered
G                 D                G
And married Cindy Lou, my faithful Darlin’ wife

Verse 2

G
Now Cindy Lou is singin’ with the angels,
C                                        G
My sons have wives and children of their own.
G
Time to pack my clothes, my savings, and my memories,
G                  D              G
and retire to that mountain cabin home

Chorus

C                               G
My Mountain cabin home is now a Walmart
G                                     D
There’s condos in the hills I used to roam
G                                      C
There's a apple store, a target, and a costco
G                     D              G
But not a Trace of my Mountain Cabin Home

Verse 3

G
No more hunting, no more fishing, no more logging
C                                         G
Bring your credit card or iphone, no more cash
G
Now the only hunting left upon the mountain,
G                 D                G
Is a bear hunting food in dumpster trash

(Chorus)

Verse 4

G
I pondered in the food court over pizza,
C                            G
This wasn’t the retirement I planned,
G
I went on-line while having frozen yoghurt,
G                    D              G
To learn how we were kicked off our land

(Chorus)

Verse 5

G
Two hundred years we lived up the mountain,
C                                 G
Our title to the land was lost in time,
G
The country grabbed the mountain top for Westfield,
G              D           G
We never saw a dollar or a dime

(Chorus)

Verse 6

C                               G
My mountain cabin home is now a Walmart
G                                     D
There’s condos in the hills I used to roam
G                                        C
There’s a Chick-fil-a, McDonald’s, and a Starbucks,
G                     D              G
But not a trace of my mountain cabin home

(Chorus)

Verse 7

G
Our mountain cabin home was cold and drafty
C                                        G
The winter snow would freeze you to your bones
G
Now the whole wide world is hot and getting hotter,
G                           D              G
Wish I were freezing in our mountain cabin home

(Chorus)

Verse 8

G
So, I’ll go back to the comforts of the city,
C                                  G
To my power, shower, microwave and phone,
G
But late at night my mind will go on wandering,
G                  D                  G
Oh how I miss that old mountain cabin home.

(Chorus)

Verse 9

C                               G
My mountain cabin home is now a Walmart
G                                     D
There’s condos in the hills I used to roam
G                                      C
There’s a fitness gym, a hair salon, a sports bar,
G                     D              G
But not a trace of my mountain cabin home

(Chorus)

Verse 10

G                                      C
There’s a Ford, and Chevy, Subaru, and Honda,
G                     D              G
But not a trace of my mountain cabin home
G                     D              G
But not a trace of my mountain cabin home
