Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Sal  from the valley loved Al from the alley
 and they lived in harmony
 Sally played acoustic and Al  he played electric
 and they both  took turns on lead
 they played  it for their friends
again  and again
 of the places  they had been
 but their favorite  song of all  was called
up  on the mountain
 (chorus)
up  on the mountain up where the light breaks
that's  where you'll find me
I'm  gonna leave this worrisome  world
 and it's troubles  behind me
up  on the mountain where the light breaks
that's  where I'll be
 I barely  got time to finish  this song
 so say  farewell for me
 well in to the valley came a gal from the galley
 with a strange and smilin face
 sally played acoustic and Al played electric
 and the girl played a hell of a bass
 and when they sang their harmonies
 the lady dipped right in
 she soon moved in and lived with them
 up on the mountain
 (repeat chorus)
 now Al from the alley is gone from the valley
 he's a sad and wiser man
 and Sally from the valley and the girl from the galley
 they live in mortal sin
 Sally plays acoustic and the girl plays electric
 and sometimes they hold hands
 and late at night you can hear them playin
 up on the mountain
 (repeat chorus)
 .......Hot lickin and finger pickin............so say farewell for me!!
