[Intro]

G C G Em G C G D G

[Verse 1]

G                                  C          G
Down and old mountain road, in the long long ago,
                                 Em
In a town where the white waters flow,
  G                       C          G
A story they tell, of the wild Rebel yell,
                      D              G
And a girl called the Sweet Mountain Rose.

[Verse 2]

    G                           C          G
She grew running wild, with the heart of a child,
                                   Em
And she ran where the wild meadows grow.
    G                         C        G
The boy of her dreams, he was only nineteen,
                         D            G
When he left her on that old mountain road.

[Chorus]

D                         Em
Years have gone by in the wink of an eye,
           C                        G
Since they called him to war and he chose,
G                              C          G
To be one of the brave, in the loud cannonade,
                  D              G
Far away from his Sweet Mountain Rose.

[Verse 3]

G                                C              G
And as he marched away, well you know what they say,
                         Em
The heart of a woman, it knows.
G                             C              G
He would never return, to the fire she would burn,
                  D            G
When he left that old mountain road.

[Chorus]

D                          Em
Years have gone by, in the wink of an eye,
           C                        G
Since they called him to war and he chose,
G                              C    G
To be one of the brave, in the loud cannonade,
                  D              G
Far away from his Sweet Mountain Rose.

[Verse 4]

G                                  C              G
Now the final war was waged, as he wrote the last page,
                                 Em
And pinned it to his coat in the cold.
G                                  C            G
And the letter they found, on that bloody battleground,
                     D              G
Was addressed to his Sweet Mountain Rose.

[Final Chorus]

D                          Em
Sometimes at night, in the cold winter light,
  C                     G
A shadow is paled as it snows.
                                  C              G
He stands in Rebel gray, like the day he marched away,
                        D              G
Still searching for his Sweet Mountain Rose.

[Tag]

G                                 C               G
He stands in Rebel gray, like the day he marched away,
                        D              G
Still searching for his Sweet Mountain Rose.
