That Mountain The Boxmasters
That Mountain
Thornton/Stuart
Key: E
INTRO: E
[E]There's a mean black train I've been hearin' all my life
Every night at sundown I [B7]hear its lonesome [E]cry
[E]When I look through the screen door I see a rocking chair
My momma's sittin' in it thinkin' [B7]'bout that world out [E]there
CHORUS:
She [A]wants to go over that [E]mountain
To [B7]see what's on the other [E]side
She said I [A]want to go over that [E]mountain
[D]Before the [A]day that I [E]die
She's never set foot outta this poor valley holler
But she talks about her dreams of some other way of life
These 70 years of livin' never had much of anything
Is it askin' too much to see a damned diesel train
CHORUS
SOLO
20 years ago today my daddy left this holler
Said I'll be comin' back tomorrow night
I remember the sound of his boot heels in the gravel
Well he ain't been back since and he never said goodbye
CHORUS
[D]Before the [A]day that I [E]die
