VERSE 1: 
Am                    Am/G# 
Just you and me and a little white pup, 
Am/G                         Am/F# 
Sittin' here waiting for the sun to come up, 
F?                   Bm11     E7 
  To keep the chill away. 
Am                         Am/G# 
Drinkin' our coffee at the first crack of dawn, 
Am/G                     Am/F# 
Watchin' a doe while she nuzzles her fawn, 
F?                             D7 
  It's my favorite time of the day. 
 
CHORUS: 
G  C  Bm  C 
Hi-----gh Lonesome. 
G                A                 D 
  God don't ever let this mountain change. 
G  C  Bm  C 
Hi-----gh Lonesome. 
G                 A               D    C#-D-E7 
  I hope you will always stay the same. 
 
VERSE 2: 
Am                                 Am/G# 
Sometimes in the evening when it’s all kinda still, 
Am/G                        Am/F# 
Sweet mountain music floats over the hill, 
F?                    Bm11     E7 
  On a laurel-scented breeze. 
Am                            Am/G# 
Sometimes when nightbirds are scolding the mist, 
Am/G                   Am/F# 
  I think I might know where heaven is, 
F?                    D7 
  It's just above the trees. 
 
CHORUS: 
G  C  Bm  C 
Hi-----gh Lonesome. 
G                A                 D 
  God don't ever let this mountain change. 
G  C  Bm  C 
Hi-----gh Lonesome. 
G                 A               D    C#-D-E7 
  I hope you will always stay the same. 
 
VERSE 3: 
Am                      Am/G# 
Watchin' my summertimes turnin' to falls, 
Am/G                  Am/F# 
Seein' my son growing honest and tall, 
F?              Bm11     E7 
  Keeps me satisfied. 
   Am                Am/G# 
If I live forever or I die today, 
Am/G                   Am/F# 
All I would ask is you just let me lay here, 
F?                D7 
  On this mountainside. 
 
CHORUS: 
G  C  Bm  C 
Hi-----gh Lonesome. 
G  C  Bm  C 
Hi-----gh Lonesome. 
G  C  Bm  C 
Hi-----gh Lonesome. 
G (hold to end)
