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,
F? 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,
F? 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 it’s all kinda still,
Am/G Am/F#
Sweet mountain music floats over the hill,
F? 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,
F? D7
It's just above the trees.
CHORUS:
G C Bm C
Hi-----gh Lonesome.

God don't ever let this mountain change.

VERSE 3:
Am Am/G#
Watchin' my summertimes turnin' to falls,
Am/G Am/F#
Seein' my son growing honest and tall,
F? 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,
F? D7
On this mountainside.
