Songcatcher - When The Mountains Cry Chords

[Verse 1]
Em
A lilac comes on a poisoned thorn
       C               Em
In a dress dirty and torn
            C                         Em
Young-uns a playin' as the black crow flies
       D                           Em
Mama's weeping; hear the mountains cry.
 
[Verse 2]
Em
There was another, a wild dirt flower
             C                    Em
Cold was her heart and as dark as dire
             C                         Em
Tears on the ground where her love did die
                  D                        Em
'Neath the bloody moon; hear the mountains cry.
 
(fiddle break)
 
[Verse 3]
Em
Oh dig his grave narrow and deep
             C                      Em
Set a jug of whiskey by his thirsty feet
            C                     Em
And lay two pennies on his roving eyes
           D                       Em
Two women wailing as the mountains cry.
 
[Coda]
                  C                     Em
Oh the wind blows weary and the willows sigh
           D                        Em
Rivers of sorrow when the mountains cry. (x2)
