Way Back In The Mountains Recorded by Merle Haggard Written by Max D. Barnes and Merle Haggard [3/4 time]
C G7 C How far can a man stretch a dollar C7 F I thought as I counted my pay C I told myself over and over G7 There must be some other way
C G7 C No light at the end of the tunnel C7 F The whole world is falling apart C And I need this load on my shoulders G7 C Like I need a hole in my heart
F C I'm gonna move way back in the mountains G7 Build a cabin nobody can find C F C I'm gonna move way back in the mountains F C G7 C I'm gonna leave this old city behind
G7 C How does a man hold a woman C7 F When he's standing on unsteady ground C She's wantin' things I can't give her G7 Things that make her world go round
C G7 C I'm trading this microwave oven C7 F For a cast iron pot bellied stove C If all I can make is a living F C G7 C Hey I should have moved back a long time ago
Repeat #3
F C I'm gonna move way back in the mountains F C G7 F C Build a cabin nobody can find.
