[Verse]
Em G D AIf you’re thumbin’ down a dog-town road….
Em G D AWith your tongue back, draggin’ ass, hotter than a train track
Em G D AHarlan up to Middlesboro…..
Em G D AWith your coal seam, jimson weed, wildcat, wind speed
Em G D ABig Sandy to the Big O….
Em G D A EmOn an overdrive mainline, try to clear Kentucky alive
G D AMy, my, such a lost tribe…
[Pre-Chorus]
GDon’t you know
ADon’t you know
CDon’t you know
DDon’t you know, you know, you know
[Chorus]
Em G DThere used to be a mountain here….
A Em G D AThere used to be a river so clear, we could swim to the bottom
Em G D AThere was heart, there was soul, but I guess that we forgot ’em
Em G D A Em‘Cause there ain’t nothin’ standin’ out the window but a sign on a slag pile
G D A Em G D A..It says,…it said there used to be a mountain here…….
[Interlude]
Em G D A…………
[Verse]
Em G D AIf you’re thumbin’ down a drag-mine road…
Em G D AAnd your quickset toothache needs a little opiate
Em G D ALookin’ for a pot a-gold…..
Em G D AWith a go-devil, Honda rebel, OxyContin coal shovel
Em G D AClimb on up the tipple and go….
Em GStraight to a gunnysack, polecat
D A GMitch’ll have a heart attack, you know
[Pre-Chorus]
ADon’t you know
CDon’t you know
DDon’t you know, you know, you know
[Chorus]
Em G DThere used to be a mountain here….
A Em G D AThere used to be a river so clear, we could swim to the bottom
Em G D AThere was heart, there was soul, but I guess that we forgot ’em
Em G D A Em‘Cause there ain’t nothin’ standin’ out the window but a sign on a slag pile
G D A C..It says,…it said there used to be a mountain here
[Bridge]
BmThere used to be a house on the edge of town
AmThere used to be a job and a roller rink
GChurch on Sunday, passin’ the plate around
CThere used to be a river full of catfish
BmWe’d catch, just to let ’em go
AmAh, we used to let it flow
DBut now, we’ve let ourselves go
Hey

[Verse]
Em G D ASo, if you’re thumbin’ down a coal town road…..
Em G D AAnd you’re all jacked, smoke-stacked, suckin’ on a thumb tack
Em G D ASwingin’ at the end of ya rope….
Em G D AFrom a shoelace, total waste, sign your whole life away
Em G D ADon’t forget the debt that you’re owed….
Em G D AFrom the fat cats, race rats, big Pharma, tall stacks
Em G D AThey’re the ones a-diggin’ the hole…..
Em G D AAll the way down to Guangzhou….
[Pre-Chorus]
GDon’t you know
