Capo 4th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

Two trees on the hillside of the mountain

Always looking up towards the sky

Reminds me of my mama and my papa

Who lived there 80 years before they died

Chorus

Now the bright moon is shining in the valley

That old wagon leans against a stack of hay

Two graves on the hillside by a cabin

My mom and dad are resting there today

Verse 2

Oh the burning of the greenwood on the fireplace

The fallen snow around the red bud tree

The branches of the laurel by the creek bed

And the rippling waters of the gentle stream

Chorus

Verse 3

Now papa used to talk about the young days

When he and mama first settled there

He spoke about the love of the mountains

That he and mama shared together there

Chorus
