Just  you and me and a little  white pup,
Sittin'  here waiting for the sun  to come up,
&916; Bm11 [E7]
  To keep the chill away.
Drinkin'  our coffee at the first  crack of dawn,
Watchin'  a doe while she nuzzles  her fawn,
&916; [D7]
  It's my favorite time of the day.
Hi-----gh Lonesome.
God don't ever let this mountain change.
C
Hi-----gh Lonesome.
 I hope you will always  stay the same.
Sometimes  in the evening when it’s all  kinda still,
Sweet  mountain music floats over  the hill,
&916; Bm11 [E7]
  On a laurel-scented breeze.
Sometimes  when nightbirds are scolding  the mist,
 I think I might know where  heaven is,
&916; [D7]
  It's just above the trees.
Hi-----gh Lonesome.
God don't ever let this mountain change.
C
Hi-----gh Lonesome.
 I hope you will always  stay the same.

 |  |  |  |  |&916; |[F]Δ |[D7] |[D7] |
 
 
Watchin'  my summertimes turnin'  to falls,
Seein'  my son growing honest  and tall,
&916; Bm11 [E7]
  Keeps me satisfied.
 If I  live forever or I  die today,
All  I would ask is you just  let me lay here,
&916; [D7]
  On this mountainside.
Hi-----gh Lonesome.
Hi-----gh Lonesome.
Hi-----gh Lonesome.
