Intro
[Am] [C] [G] [Am] [Em] [G] [Am]
[Am] [C] [G] [Am] [Em] [G] [Am]
Verse 1
[Am]I swear I [C]see her in my [G]dreams [Am]sometimes
held [Em]up in the [G]middle of the [Am]night
[Am]Shaking like a [C]pistol in a [G]young man's [Am]hand
[Em]there in the [G]pale [Am]moonlight
[Am]Standing up on [C]top of that [G]lonely [Am]hill
[Em]spared by the [G]company [Am]mine
is my [Am]blue-eyed [C]baby with her [G]best dress [Am]on
in the [Em]shadow of a [G]lonely [Am]pine
Verse 2
Ah, but [Am]back before the [C]war when the [G]company [Am]came
these [Em]hills grew [G]wild and [Am]free
Me and [Am]baby, we'd [C]hide in the [G]hollers [Am]low
[Em]away from the [G]cruel sun's [Am]heat
But then they [Am]knocked down the [C]timber and [G]burned off the [Am]brush
to [Em]get to the [G]riches [Am]below
And when [Am]they pulled out [C]they left the [G]coal-black [Am]ground
And [Em]one pine [G]standing [Am]alone
So take me [Dm]home[Em]
Lone Pine [Am]Hill
Verse 3
Now [Am]I signed [C]up back in [G][Am]sixty-one
I'm an [Em]Army of [G]Virginia [Am]man
I been from [Am]Manassas to [C]Mackonackey all [G]the way to [Am]Sailor's Creek
[Em]fightin' for [G]my [Am]homeland
Ah, but [Am]four years [C]gone and [G]all hope [Am]lost
and [Em]Richmond [G]under [Am]siege
And we're [Am]digging out [C]Five Forks [G]waiting in the [Am]rain
For [Em]Sheridan to [G]bring us to our [Am]knees
So take me [Dm]home[Em]
Lone Pine [Am]Hill
Bridge
[C] There's a [G]strange moon hanging [Am]overhead tonight
[C] And if the [G]rain keeps comin' then the [Am]creek's gonna rise
[Dm] But with the [G]Good Lord's Grace,[C] I'll [C/B]make it [Am]out of this place
[Dm] And I'll be in your arms come the [Em]morning light, I [Am]swear
Verse 4
So [Am]God grant me [C]speed, and [G]grant me [Am]forgiveness
and [Em]carry me [G]all through the [Am]night
[Am]Take me through your [C]hills and [G]over your [Am]rivers
[Em]away from this [G]awful fight[Am]
'Cause I [Am]never known a [C]man that's [G]ever owned [Am]another
and I ain't [Em]never owned [G]nothing of my [Am]own
So after [Am]four long [C]years I [G]just can't [Am]tell you
what the [Em]hell I've been [G]fightin' [Am]for
So take me [Dm]home[Em]
Lone Pine [Am]Hill
