Tuning from TimothyPratt & carlossikorsk
I did the best I could following the Paste Studio version on YouTube
     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1LmCWefd3cY
 
Note on the chords: Am7add11/D = D7sus2sus4 is shortened to D; Fmaj7sus2 is F; G6sus4 is G.
                    D* is the 'octave up' version of the 'D' chord

[Intro]
| D   | F   | C   | C   | x2
 
 
D
Up on the mountain
F                  C
Caught on the rail line
D
Up on the mountain
F                  C
Caught on the rail line
 
 
[Verse 1]
   D                           F
My brother, let the heart just beat
C
  Drink your wine, smoke your weed
   D                 F           C
My brother, let the heart still beat
    D                Am7
And wear your silver lining
        C*            G         G*
Wear it close to your skin
 
 
[Chorus]
                D*
But if it's the drugs, the women, the wine, the weed
    Am7                          C*
The love that took everything I own
             G
Just take it all, oh oh
    D*
And tell the ones you love you love them
Am7                           C*
Teach only what you know, and oh
                   G
You better know it well
 
 
[Verse 2]
D                      F
We drove from coast to coast
        C
Down in New Orleans
 
Where the levees broke 'cause
D
 You were tripping
F
 I was driving
C
 You were running
 
I was hiding
 
    D                        F
And you know I know how that feels
          C
Don't get cheated kid
 
Just swing from your heels
    D                     F
And if you get carried away
         C
Let the music play you through the pain
    D                Am7
And wear that silver lining
        C*            G
Wear it close to your skin
 
 
[Chorus]
                D*
But if it's the drugs, the women, the wine, the weed
    Am7                          C*
The love that took everything I own
             G
Just take it all, oh oh
    D*
And tell the ones you love you love them
Am7                           C*
Teach only what you know, and oh
                   G
You better know it well
 
 
[Instrumental]

[Outro]
D
Up on the mountain
F                  C
Caught on the rail line
D
Up on the mountain
F                  C
Caught on the rail line
