Bb C The sparkle off the amphibole? Bb C Like a giant golden eagle's beak Bb G Now they say no one wants the coal [Verse 3] Am Dm Am I thought about moving away Dm Am But what would my mama say? Dm Am F C G I'm all that she has left and I'm with her every day Am Dm Am As soon as the sun goes down Dm Am I find my way to the Mustang Lounge Dm Am F C G And if you don't sit facing the window, you could be in any town [Chorus] F C G Maybe the Cumberland Gap just swallows you whole F C G Maybe the Cumberland Gap just swallows you whole F C G Maybe the Cumberland Gap just swallows you whole F C G Maybe the Cumberland Gap just swallows you whole
