C5                               A5
met a man who could not lie for silver

C5                                A5
met a man who could not sing for gold

G5                        A5
got out & his hands were shakin'

G5                          A5    D5  A5
got out somewhere down the road


CHORUS
------

      D5   A5           D5       A5
gonna be . . . all his life

D5                        A5
livin' . . . on mountain time

met a man walkin' by a river
his steps were all his own
got out & his heart was broken
got out somewhere all alone

BREAK

met a man - his soul he could not treason
met a man who would not wave that flag
got out & his hands were shakin'
got out somewhere down the road

gonna be . . . all his life
livin' . . . on mountain time

gonna be . . all right
livin' . . on mountain time
