[E] [F#] [E]

[G#m] [E]
He was a simple man from the mountains
Those hills put [B] a song in [E] his heart
and how the miles
Can take you from wherever you are and how he felt when [B] he held his [E] guitar
He turned the heads of the ladies
Wound up in jail from [B] the men that [E] he'd fight
He had to wash down his suffering
with white pills
And whiskey because he was restless [B] and tortured [E]
inside
[A] Now he's crossed his last
[E] lonesome river
No rank strangers stone walls or [B] still bar
[E] Now he's back on the mountain [G#] where I hope he [E] finds peace
[A] [E] God bless him [B] and rest him [E] royally

[C#m] [E]
[B] [E]
Some said he was mean and cold-hearted
Some said a victim
[B] of life's [E] circumstance
Oh
But we all
Agree he was a man from the mountain who only he and [B] his God
[E] understand
[C#m]
[A] Now he's crossed his last
[E] lonesome river
No rank strangers stone walls or [B] still bar
[E] Now he's back on the mountain where I hope he finds peace
God bless him [B] and rest him [E] royally
Now he's back on the mountain where I hope he [A] finds peace
[E] God bless him and rest him royally
You
