[Eb] _ _ [Cm] _ [Gm] _ [Cm] [Eb] see you in my dreams [Cm] sometimes [Eb] hailed up in the middle [Cm] of night
[Gm] [Cm] Shaken [Eb] like a pistol in a young [Cm] man's [Eb] hand there in [Cm] the pale [Gm] moonlight
[Cm] Standing [Eb] at the top of [Cm] that lonely hill [Eb] spared by [Cm] the company [Gm] mine
A [Eb] blue eyed baby with her best [Cm] dress on [Gm] in the shadow [Cm] of a lonely pine
[Eb] Back [Cm] _ _
before [Eb] the war when the [Cm] company came [Eb] these hills grew [Cm] wild and free
And [Eb] baby we'd hide [Cm] in the holler low [Eb] away from [Cm] the crews unseen
Knock down the timber and burn off the brush [Gm] to get to [Cm] the ridges [Gm] below
[Cm]
They pulled out.
They left a coal black brown [Eb] one [Cm] fine standard alone.
[Fm] So take me home
[Gm] the lone [Cm] pine hill _

[Gm] I've [Cm] been four years gone.
No hope lost in Richmond undersea

[Gm] So [Fm] take me [Gm] home
the [Cm] lone pine [Eb] hill
_ [Cm] _ [Eb] _ _ [Cm] _ [Eb] _
_ There's a stream hanging [Cm] overhead tonight
[Eb] _
_ And if the rain keeps [Cm] coming in the creeks gonna rise
[Fm] But [Bb] with the good Lord's [Eb] grace
[Gm] [Cm] I'll make it out of [Fm] this place and I'll be in their [Gm] arms from the morning light

Take me [Eb] through your hills and over [Cm] your rivers [Eb] away from [Cm] the sobble fight
Cuz I never [Eb] known a man [Cm] that's ever owned another and [Eb] ain't never on nothing of [Cm] my own
So after four long years, I just can't tell you [Eb] what the hell I've been fighting [Cm] for.
