The SteelDrivers - Blue Side of the Mountain

      I normally play this a half step down to better fit my voice, but it still plays fine in standard.

[Intro]

(The intro is totally optional, this is not how it's played on the recording, it's similar, but much easier. 
 Just a simple alternating E to E7 at the beginning and through the first lines of verse 1&2. Just E by 
 itself works, this just adds a little flair and brings it closer to the recording)
   
e|----0-----0------------------|
B|----0-----0------------------|
G|----0-----0------------------| x3 (the 4th time through, the verse starts, so you can keep playing this or
D|-1-----1-----1--1-1-1-1-1-1--|     just stick with E)
A|-2-----2-----2--0-2-0-2-0-2--|
E|-2-----2-----2--2-2-2-2-2-2--|
   D--D--D--D--D--D-U-D-U-D-U

[Verse 1] (play first verse lightly)

E                               (intro riff) 
There's a place in a piney hollow
E                         (intro riff)
That no one but me can find
E                                   (intro riff)
Some Choctaw built it in the hillside
         G  A               E (loud from here on) 
Stone by stone in a simpler time

(E or intro riff) G A

[Verse 2]
E                                   E7  E
It's a holy place, my daddy showed me
E                            (intro riff)       
Back before this land was mine
       A    G           E
On the blue side of the mountain
          G  A           E
Where the sun don't ever shine


[Chorus]

   A        G           A                  E
So deep and dark like a hurtin' down in my heart
E                                               A    G
Maybe somethin' there will show me some kind of sign
       A   G            E
On the blue side of the mountain
          G  A           E
Where the sun don't ever shine

[Verse 3] (light strumming)

E                   E7       E    (into riff) 
I'm going back to a world of shadow
E                   E7 E                (heavy downstrums)          
Gotta find some peace, for I lose my mind
       A    G           E
On the blue side of the mountain
          G   A             E
Where the sun don't ever shine


[Ending]

   A        G           A                  E
So deep and dark like a hurtin' down in my heart
E                                                A     G
Maybe somethin' there will show me some kind of sign
       A   G            E
On the blue side of the mountain
          G  A           E
Where the sun don't ever shine
          G  A           E
Where the sun don't ever shine
