|      |   |    |   |Δ      |Δ      |Bm11    |      |
|      |   |    |   |Δ      |Δ      |Bm11    |      |

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

CHORUS:
      
Hi-----gh Lonesome.
                                 
  God don't ever let this mountain change.
      
Hi-----gh Lonesome.
                                    --
  I hope you will always stay the same.

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

CHORUS:
      
Hi-----gh Lonesome.
                                 
  God don't ever let this mountain change.
      
Hi-----gh Lonesome.
                                    --
  I hope you will always stay the same.

INSTRUMENTAL:

|       |       |      |       |       |       |       |       |

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

CHORUS:
      
Hi-----gh Lonesome.
      
Hi-----gh Lonesome.
      
Hi-----gh Lonesome.
G (hold to end)
