When The Mountains Cry Chords & Lyrics - Misc Soundtrack - Songcatcher

[VERSE 1]
[Em]A lilac comes on a poisoned thorn
It has [C]roots dirty and [Em]torn
Young-uns a [C]playin' as the black crow [Em]flies
Mama's [D]weeping; hear the mountains [Em]cry.

[VERSE 2]
[Em]There was another, a wild dirt flower
Cold was her [C]heart and as dark as [Em]dire
Tears on the [C]ground where her love did [Em]die
'Neath the bloody [D]moon; hear the mountains [Em]cry.

(fiddle break)

[VERSE 3]
[Em]Oh dig his grave narrow and deep
Set a jug of [C]whiskey by his thirsty [Em]feet
And lay two [C]pennies on his roving [Em]eyes
Two women w[D]ailing as the mountains [Em]cry.

[CODA]
Oh the wind blows [C]weary and the willows [Em]sigh
Rivers of s[D]orrow when the mountains [Em]cry. (x2)
