Stagger Mountain Tragedy
From the album Border Lord
[INTRO]
C
[VERSE 1]
I was bCorn on Stagger MoFuntain in the sCunshine and the snFow
And leCaving was the fBbirst mistFake I mGade
But I hCungered for the shGadows in the vFalley down belCow
And a gCirl that danced the tBbune the devil plCayed
Her smCile was like the blFinding light of sCunshine on the snFow
And the flCashing of her hBbair was blFack as sGin.
And her bCody set the smGokes of hell a-bFoiling in my skCull
When the fCiddle of the dBbevil made her spCin.
[CHORUS]
Born in sFunshine [sunshine] high on the mCountain,
Where the Gair F is pure and cCold;
But there's dGarkness F in the shCadows
In the cBbanyons of my sCoul.
[INTERLUDE]
C
[VERSE 2]
The lCantern cast her shFadow like a dCemon on the wFall
And the nCaked sweat was glBbeaming Fon her skGin;
Then the roCom was spinning clGoser as her clFothes began to fCall
And the eCagle started scBbreaming in my brCain
Then I sCaw the laughing daFgger and I heCard the devil scrFeam
And her bleCeding heart was bBbeating Fin my hGand.
Then the dCarkness flew awGay and I was stFanding by a trCee
With a haCnging rope a-dBbanglin' from a lCimb.
[CHORUS]
Born in sFunshine [sunshine] high on the mCountain,
Where the Gair F is pure and cCold;
But there's dGarkness F in the shCadows
In the cBbanyons of my sCoul.
