[Verse]
D
Well it's cold on this mountain,
G D
When the winter comes on.
Bmadd6
The dew in the meadow,
G A
Is sprinkled along.
Bm A
This road down to Nashville,
G D
Like crystal and stone.
D
It's a place where a man,
A D
Sells his soul for a song.
A
God knows, I loved her,
G D
Too much, I can see.
G D
Much more than she could have
A
Ever loved me.
G
If I was the last man,
Bm G D A D
In east Tennessee...
D
Well, at times I feel I need the rain.
G D
At times, I need the sun.
D
Pleasure is a thread of pain,
A7
When it is undone.
G
My moments of insanity,
D G
Are never like a chain.
D
I only know I am not free,
A D
The nights when I am sane.
D
So, do not be concerned, my love,
G D
If you see me cry.
Bm A
For the laughter does not choose,
G A7
To free the happiness inside.
G
Just as there may seem to be,
D G
A smile that's out of place.
D
It only means there is a pain,
A D
That hurts too much to face.
Bm
It's cold on this mountain,
F#m
Winter's come on.
G
The dew in the meadow,
D D/G#
Is sprinkled along.
G
This road down to Nashville,
D G Em/F# Asus4 A
Like crystal and stone...
D
I'm just one man,
G D
Sometimes I wish I was three.
Bm F#m
I could take a forty-four,
G D
Pistol to me.
G
Put one in my brain,
D G
Just for her memory,
D
One more for my heart,
A D
And I would be free.
D
One more for my heart,
A D
I would be free.
