Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[G]He was bor[C]n in Dixon, Holland in 1893
[G]Never [C]had no running water,
no electricity
[G]He rai[D]sed his own tobacco
and [C]he raised a family
And he [Am]always said
you can't go wrong with life
[D]If you do what's mountain bri[G]ght
Stand your ground straight and tall
Mountain [C]bright
Hold on proud if you must fall
This has [Am]always been our [Em]land
And I [C]love it more than life
[Bm]When I die I[Am] know that I[D]
Left mountain [G]ride
A [C]car rolled up one day
The U .S. highway on the door
[G]The [C]interstate is coming through
You can't live here anymore
[G]The [D]old man said my pa lived here
And [C]my grandpa before
And [Am]I ain't giving up
without [D]a fight
Gonna do what's mountain [G]right
They [C]came back to give him
one last chance
To change his [G]mind
They [C]came with guns and dogs
And talked through megaphones
This [G]time
The [D]old man said, I told you once
I'm [C]not the running kind
And if [Am]you boys don't shoot first
I just [D]might
And I'll be mountain [G]bright
Gonna stand my ground
straight and tall
Mountain [C]bright
And say to hell with all of y 'all
If you're [Am]gonna take my land
[Em]You're gonna have [C]to take my life
[Bm]But when I die,[Am]
I'll know that [D]I was mountain d[G]rivin'
Now if [C]you gas up addiction,
ask anyone in [G]town
They'll [C]point you to a cabin
that the highway goes around
[G]You can[D] be the headstone
where his [C]epitaph is found
It says [Am]God may judge him
in a different light
[D]But here he was mountain bri[G]ght
Stood his ground straight and tall
Mountain [C]bright
Said I'll fall proud if I must fall
This has [Am]always been his land
[Em]And he loved[C] it more than life
[Bm]And when he died[Am]
He knew in[D]side
That he was mountain [G]bright
He was [C]born in Dixon, Holland
In [G]1893
Never [C]had no running water
No electricity
[G]He [D]raised his own tobacco
and [C]he raised a family
And [Am]he always said
you can't go wrong in life
[D]If you do what's mountain rig[C]ht[G][C]
If you do what's mountain [G]right[C]
[G]Gonna stand [C]proud, gonna stand tall,
just say to hell with all of y [G]'all,[C]
do what's mountain [G]mild.
