Version 1 
            Fire On The Mountain
George McCorkle/Marshall Tucker Band


[Verse 1]
Em                          C
Took my family away from my Carolina home
Em                            C
Had dreams about the West and started to roam
Em                    C
Six long months on a dust covered trail
Em                                    C
They say heaven's at the end, but so far it's been hell
 
 
[Chorus]
            G                     D
And there's fire on the mountain, lightnin' in the air,
Am                           C              Em      C  Em  C 
 Gold in them hills and it's waitin' for me there
 
 
[Verse 2]
Em                          C
We were diggin' and siftin' from five to five
Em                           C
Sellin' everything we found just to stay alive
Em                         C
Gold flowed free like the whiskey in the bars
Em                                    C
Sinnin' was the big thing, Lord, and Satan was his star
 
 
[Chorus]
            G                     D
And there's fire on the mountain, lightnin' in the air,
Am                           C              Em       C  Em  C 
 Gold in them hills and it's waitin' for me there

[Verse 3]
Em                        C
Dance hall girls were the evenin' treat
Em                                   C
Empty cartridges and blood lines the gutters of the street
Em                         C
Men were shot down for the sake of fun,
Em                                 C
or just to hear the noise of their forty four guns
 
 
[Chorus]
            G                     D
And there's fire on the mountain, lightnin' in the air,
Am                           C              Em       C  Em  C 
 Gold in them hills and it's waitin' for me there
 
 
[Verse 4]
Em                 C  
 Now my widow, she weeps by my grave
Em                          C  
 Tears flow free for her man she couldn't save
Em                           C  
 Shot down in cold blood by a gun that carried fame,
Em                             C
 all for a useless and no good, worthless claim
 
 
[Chorus]
            G                     D
And there's fire on the mountain, lightnin' in the air,
Am                           C              G
 gold in them hills and it's waitin' for me there
 
 
[Outro]
G                      D
 Fire on the mountain, lightnin' in the air,
Am                           C              Em  
 Gold in them hills and it's waitin' for me there
C                 G  
 ..waitin' for me there..
