(Intro)
[Am] [C] [G] [G]
(Verse 1)
[Am]Up on the mountain
[C]Caught on the rail [G]line
[Am]Up on the mountain
[C]Caught on the rail [G]line
[Am]My brother, let the hard drugs [C]be
[G] Drink your wine, smoke your weed
[Am]My brother, let the h[C]hard stuff [G]be
(Pre-chorus)
[Am]And wear your silver [Em]lining
Wear it [G]close to your [D]skin [D]
(Chorus)
But if it's the [Am]drugs,
the women, the wine, the weed
The [Em]love that took everything I [G]own
Just take it [D]all oh [D]oh
And [Am]tell the ones you love you love them
[Em]Teach only what you know, and [G]oh
You better know it [D]well
(Verse 2)
[Am]We drove from coast to c[C]coast
Down in [G]New Orleans
Where the levees broke
[Am]You were tripping
[C]I was driving
[G]You were running
I was hiding
[Am]And you know I know how that [C]feels
Don't get [G]cheated, kid
Just sweep from your heels
[Am]And if you get carried a[C]away
Let the m[G]music play you through the pain
(Pre-chorus)
[Am]And wear your silver [Em]lining
Wear it [G]close to your [D]skin [D]
(Chorus)
But if it's the [Am]drugs, the
women, the wine, the weed
The [Em]love that took everything I [G]own
Just take it [D]all oh [D]oh
And [Am]tell the ones you love you love them
[Em]Teach only what you know, and [G]oh
You better know it [D]well
(Outro)
[Am]Up on the mountain
[C]Caught on the rail [G]line
[Am]Up on the mountain
[C]Caught on the rail [G]line
