Am C G G


[Verse 1]
Am
Up on the mountain
C                  G
Caught on the rail line
Am
Up on the mountain
C                  G
Caught on the rail line

Am                             C
My brother, let the hard drugs be
G
 Drink your wine, smoke your weed
Am                   C         G
My brother, let the hard stuff be


[Pre-chorus]
Am                   Em
And wear your silver lining
        G             D     D
Wear it close to your skin


[Chorus]
                Am
But if it's the drugs, the women, the wine, the weed
    Em                          G
The love that took everything I own
             D      D
Just take it all oh oh
    Am
And tell the ones you love you love them
Em                            G
Teach only what you know, and oh
                   D
You better know it well


[Verse 2]
Am                      C
We drove from coast to coast
        G
Down in New Orleans

Where the levees broke
Am
You were tripping
C
I was driving
G
You were running

I was hiding
Am                           C
And you know I know how that feels
          G
Don't get cheated, kid

Just sweep from your heels
Am                      C
And if you get carried away
         G
Let the music play you through the pain


[Pre-chorus]
Am                   Em
And wear your silver lining
        G             D     D
Wear it close to your skin


[Chorus]
                Am
But if it's the drugs, the women, the wine, the weed
    Em                          G
The love that took everything I own
             D      D
Just take it all oh oh
    Am
And tell the ones you love you love them
Em                            G
Teach only what you know, and oh
                   D
You better know it well

[Instrumental]

Am C G G (x4)


[Outro]
Am
Up on the mountain
C                  G
Caught on the rail line
Am
Up on the mountain
C                  G
Caught on the rail line
