[G]And those whose sole misfortune Was having [F]mountains o' [G]nothing at [Am]birth

[Dm]Make you pauper Or make you queen
[F]I won't die lonely I'll have it all prearranged
[G]A grave that's deep and wide enough For [F]me and all my [G]mountains o' [Am]things
Oh they [C]tell me [G]There's still time to save my soul They [Am]tell me
