Chords for Alex Leach Band - Mountain Heartache - SBJ

Anyhow, I hope y'all are having a great time with us.
I know we're loving getting to be up here to pick you some bluegrass music.
_ And we're going to do this song right here.
This one [Eb] kind of gets up and moves along, but if you listen to the words to it, [Dbm] it starts out _ [Eb] mighty, mighty lonesome.
[Db] _ And as it goes on along, it gets a little more mournful about midway through it.
And then by the time it's over with, and especially the way I sing it, you can call it plum pitiful.
So this is one that we wrote and we've got recorded over here as well.
Y'all come by and check it out.
It's one called Mountain Heartache.
It's one I wrote with a good friend of [Eb] mine by the name of Rafe Waters. _
We'll do this one for you.
Take us a little break and then we'll be back to pick you some more bluegrass in just a little bit.
All right? _ _

And I loved her with all my heart [Cm] and soul.
[Eb] But when each time the man [Ab] stole her from me, took my heart and left me [Eb] to be whole.
