All easy open chords. A little bit faster paced song than the other two MTB songs we have.
MTB doing it live, in case ya don't know the tune. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2AJvhrAlRM
Fire On The Mountain
George McCorkle/Marshall Tucker Band
Em C
Took my fam'ly 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
C G D
And there's fire on the mountain, lightnin' in the air
Am C Em
gold in them hills and it's waitin' for me there
We were diggin' and siftin' from five to five
sellin' everything we found just to stay alive
gold flowed free like the whiskey in the bars
sinnin' was the big thing, lord and Satan was his star
chorus
Dance hall girls were the evenin' treat
Empty cartridges and blood lined the gutters of the street
Men were shot down for the sake of fun
Or just to hear the noise of their forty four guns
chorus
Now my widow she weeps by my grave
Tears flow free for her man she couldn't save
Shot down in cold blood by a gun that carried fame
All for a useless and no good worthless claim
chorus (2x) (end on G instead of Em)

"I wonder if a composer ever intentionally composed a piece that was physically impossible to play and stuck it away to be found years later after his death, knowing it would forever drive perfectionist musicians crazy." - George Carlin
