Verse 1

B
Way up on the mountain In the sweet southern air
E                                       B
Is where I seem to lose loads I have to bear

B
Silence of the snow fall and the peacefulness around
E                                      B
I feel so blessed with all that I have found
E                                      B
I feel so blessed with all that I have found

Verse 3

E
Holler in the moonlight
E                B
Sip the mountain shine
E
The sound of the music playin'
E             B
Everything so fine

Verse 4

Lookin' up a trail for a sign as I travel there
A liquor still, an old deer trail, or the home of a big old bear

Verse 5

Wouldn't want to mess with him because it is his home
He's like me he's better left alone
He's like me he's better left alone

Chorus

Fishin' in the river at the bottom of these hills
Helps me find my peace of mind In all these natural frills

Verse 6

These mountains were the first to show their face up to the sky
Lay me to rest here when I die
Lay me to rest here when I die

Verse 7

Chorus then “Lay me to rest here when I die” x3
