Subject: When the Mountains Cry by David Mans

When the Mountains Cry by David Mansfield and Tom Russell
From the movie Songcatcher


       Em
A lilac comes on a poisoned thorn
      C               Em
It has roots dirty and torn
           C                         Em
Young-uns a playin' as the black crow flies
      D
Mama's weeping
                  Em
Hear the mountains cry.


         Em
There was another, a wild dirt flower
            C                    Em
Cold was her heart and as dark as dire
            C                         Em
Tears on the ground where her love did die
                 D
'Neath the bloody moon
                  Em
Hear the mountains cry.


(Fiddle break)


          Em
Oh dig his grave narrow and deep
            C                      Em
Set a jug of whiskey by his thirsty feet
           C                     Em
And lay two pennies on his roving eyes
         D
Two women wailing
                Em
As the mountains cry.


                 C                     Em
Oh the wind blows weary and the willows sigh
         D                         Em
Rivers of sorrow when the mountains cry.  (x2)
