Charlie Daniels

^Am Just you and me and a ^Am/G# little white pup,
^Am/G Sittin' here waiting for the ^Am/F# sun to come up,
FΔ Bm11 E7
To keep the chill away.
^Am Drinkin' our coffee at the ^Am/G# first crack of dawn,
^Am/G Watchin' a doe while she ^Am/F# nuzzles her fawn,
FΔ D7
It's my favorite time of the day.
CHORUS:
^G Hi- ^C --- ^Bm -gh ^C Lonesome.
^G God don't ever ^A let this mountain ^D change.
^G Hi- ^C --- ^Bm -gh ^C Lonesome.
^G I hope you will ^A always stay the ^D same. ^C#-D-E7
VERSE 2:
^Am Sometimes in the evening when it's ^Am/G# all kinda still,
^Am/G Sweet mountain music floats ^Am/F# over the hill,
FΔ Bm11 E7
On a laurel-scented breeze.
^Am Sometimes when nightbirds are ^Am/G# scolding the mist,
^Am/G I think I might know ^Am/F# where heaven is,
FΔ D7
It's just above the trees.
CHORUS:
^G Hi- ^C --- ^Bm -gh ^C Lonesome.
^G God don't ever ^A let this mountain ^D change.
^G Hi- ^C --- ^Bm -gh ^C Lonesome.
^G I hope you will ^A always stay the ^D same. ^C#-D-E7

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