[G]

[Verse 1]
Down and [G]old mountain road,
in [C]the long long [G]ago,
In a town where the white waters [Em]flow,
[G]A story they tell, of [C]the wild Rebel [G]yell,
And a girl called [D]the Sweet Mountain [G]Rose.
[D]She

[Verse 2]
[G]grew running wild,
with [C]the heart of [G]a child,
And she ran where the wild
meadows [Em]grow.
[G]The boy of her dreams,
he was [C]only nine[G]teen,
When he left her on that [D]old
[G]mountain [D]roa[G]d.

[Verse 3]
[D]Years have gone by in
[Em]the wink of an eye,
Since [C]they called him to war
and he [G]chose,
To be one of the brave,
in [C]the loud cannon[G]ade,
Far away from [D]his Sweet Mountain [G]Rose.

[Verse 4]
And [G]as he marched away,
well [C]you know what [G]they say,
The heart of a woman, it [Em]knows.
He [G]would never return,
to [C]the fire she [G]would burn,
When he left that [D]old mountain [G]road.

[Verse 5]
[D]Years have gone by,
in [Em]the wink of an eye,
Since [C]they called him to war
and he [G]chose,
To be one of the brave,
in [C]the loud cannon[G]ade,
Far away from [D]his Sweet Mountain

[Verse 6]
Now [G]the final war was waged,
as he [C]wrote the last [G]page,
And pinned it to his coat [D]in [Em]the cold.
And [G]the letter they found,
on that [C]bloody battle[G]ground,
Was addressed [D]to his Sweet
Mountain [G]Rose.

[Verse 7]
[D]Sometimes at night,
in [Em]the cold winter light,
[C]A shadow is paled as [G]it snows.
He stands in Rebel gray,
like [C]the day he marched [G]away,
Still searching for [D]his Sweet
Mountain [G]Rose.

[Verse 8]
[G]He stands in Rebel gray,
like [C]the day he marched [G]away,
Still [Em]searching for [D]his Sweet

[Outro 1]
Mountain Rose.
