[Intro] D  Em  D  D  C  G  D
        Em  G  D  Am
        Em  G  D  Em

[First Part]

Em              G                  D                  Am
It's where the homestead stood beneath those eastern pines
Em                      G                 D             Am
  Little piece of that old porch swing I built her in '95
Em         G
The devil dressed in dark clouds
                D                   Am
It brought the wind it brought the rain

Em                  G                  D            Am
I never dreamt I'd live to see an Appalachian hurricane

[Segunda Parte]

Em         G                       D                 Am
The suits ain't got nothing but a pittance for your pain
Em        G                       D  
They got more important things to do
Em      G                        D             Am
So just go on back to sleeep or look the other way
Em           D         G       D  
They working on a new headline or two

[Chorus]

C              G         D  Em
  The ancient hills are crying
C             G             D        D
  For Mother Mountain’s broken heart

C       G            D  Em  C
  Hell came in High Water
                             D    D
And just ripped them hills apart

C          G              D Em
  Long forgotten, now forsaken
C                      G          D  
  But the good Lord's love will abide

C       G            D  Em  C
  Hell came in high water
        D            Em
Like a thief in the night

( G  D  Am  Em )
( G  D )

[Terceira Parte]

Em                 G
Son, if you ain't angry
D                    Am
 Well you pay it no mind
Em                  G
But this ain't the first time
         D             Am
We been left so far behind

Em              G
The sorrow and anguish'll cut you
 D                 Am
Right down to the bone
Em                   G
But from the hollers to the hills
         D          Am   
We take care of our own

[Chorus]

C              G         D Em
  The ancient hills are crying
C             G             D   
  For Mother Mountain’s broken heart

C       G            D Em  C
  Hell came in High Water
                             D   
And just ripped them hills apart

C          G              D  Em
  Long forgotten, now forsaken
C                      G          D   
  But the good Lord's love will abide

C       G            D Em  C
  Hell came in high water

        D      Em        Em  C
Heaven help ussss tonight
        D      Em
Heaven help ussss tonight
