Introducción:

                  C                                         F                                    C                                            F  
I was born on Stagger Mountain in the sunshine and the snow
                C                                    Bb                 F              G  
And leaving was the first mistake I made
                  C                                            G                                 F                                 C  
But I hungered for the shadows in the valley down below
                  C                                                    Bb                                    C  
And a girl that danced the tune the devil played
                C                                              F                                         C                                         F  
Her smile was like the blinding light of sunshine on the snow
                          C                                    Bb                    F                 G  
And the flashing of her hair was black as sin.
                        C                                 G                                      F                                    C  
And her body set the smokes of hell a-boiling in my skull
                          C                                 Bb                                    C  
When the fiddle of the devil made her spin.
                        F                                                                                 C  
Born in sunshine sunshine high on the mountain,
                          G      F                                    C  
Where the air      is pure and cold 
                                  G                    F                         C  
But there's darkness         in the shadows
                     Bb                              C  
In the canyons of my soul.
C  
             C                                            F                              C                              F  
The lantern cast her shadow like a demon on the wall
                        C                                         Bb            F                    G  
And the naked sweat was gleaming on her skin 
                             C                                            G                                 F                                      C  
Then the room was spinning closer as her clothes began to fall
                        C                                    Bb                                    C  
And the eagle started screaming in my brain
                     C                                            F                              C                                         F  
Then I saw the laughing dagger and I heard the devil scream
                             C                                         Bb            F              G  
And her bleeding heart was beating in my hand.
                          C                                    G                                    F                                 C  
Then the darkness flew away and I was standing by a tree
                        C                                 Bb                                    C  
With a hanging rope a-danglin' from a limb.
                        F                                                                                 C  
Born in sunshine sunshine high on the mountain,
                          G      F                                    C  
Where the air      is pure and cold 
                                  G                    F                         C  
But there's darkness         in the shadows
                     Bb                              C  
In the canyons of my soul.
