VERSE 1:
Am                    Am/G#
Just you and me and a little white pup,
Am/G                         Am/F#
Sittin' here waiting for the sun to come up,
FΔ                   Bm11     E7
  To keep the chill away.
Am                         Am/G#
Drinkin' our coffee at the first crack of dawn,
Am/G                     Am/F#
Watchin' a doe while she nuzzles her fawn,
FΔ                             D7
  It's my favorite time of the day.

CHORUS:
G  C  Bm  C
Hi-----gh Lonesome.
G                A                 D
  God don't ever let this mountain change.
G  C  Bm  C
Hi-----gh Lonesome.
G                 A               D    C#-D-E7
  I hope you will always stay the same.

VERSE 2:
Am                                 Am/G#
Sometimes in the evening when itÂ’s all kinda still,
Am/G                        Am/F#
Sweet mountain music floats over the hill,
FΔ                    Bm11     E7
  On a laurel-scented breeze.
Am                            Am/G#
Sometimes when nightbirds are scolding the mist,
Am/G                   Am/F#
  I think I might know where heaven is,
FΔ                    D7
  It's just above the trees.

CHORUS:
G  C  Bm  C
Hi-----gh Lonesome.
G                A                 D
  God don't ever let this mountain change.
G  C  Bm  C
Hi-----gh Lonesome.
G                 A               D    C#-D-E7
  I hope you will always stay the same.

VERSE 3:
Am                      Am/G#
Watchin' my summertimes turnin' to falls,
Am/G                  Am/F#
Seein' my son growing honest and tall,
FΔ              Bm11     E7
  Keeps me satisfied.
   Am                Am/G#
If I live forever or I die today,
Am/G                   Am/F#
All I would ask is you just let me lay here,
FΔ                D7
  On this mountainside.

G  C  Bm  C
Hi-----gh Lonesome.

Hi-----gh Lonesome.
