Em              G                  D                  Am 
It's where the homestead stood beneath those eastern pines 
Em                      G                 D             Am 
  Little piece of that old porch swing I built her in '95 
Em         G 
The devil dressed in dark clouds 
                D                   Am 
It brought the wind it brought the rain 

Em                  G                  D            Am 
I never dreamt I'd live to see an Appalachian hurricane 
 

Em         G                       D                 Am 
The suits ain't got nothing but a pittance for your pain 
Em        G                       D   
They got more important things to do 
Em      G                        D             Am 
So just go on back to sleeep or look the other way 
Em           D         G       D   
They working on a new headline or two 
 

C              G         D  Em 
  The ancient hills are crying 
C             G             D        D 
  For Mother Mountain’s broken heart 

C       G            D  Em  C 
  Hell came in High Water 
                             D    D 
And just ripped them hills apart 

C          G              D Em 
  Long forgotten, now forsaken 
C                      G          D   
  But the good Lord's love will abide 

C       G            D  Em  C 
  Hell came in high water 
        D            Em 
Like a thief in the night

Em                 G 
Son, if you ain't angry 
D                    Am 
 Well you pay it no mind 
Em                  G 
But this ain't the first time 
         D             Am 
We been left so far behind 

Em              G 
The sorrow and anguish'll cut you 
 D                 Am 
Right down to the bone 
Em                   G 
But from the hollers to the hills 
         D          Am    
We take care of our own 
 

C              G         D Em 
  The ancient hills are crying 
C             G             D    
  For Mother Mountain’s broken heart 

C       G            D Em  C 
  Hell came in High Water 
                             D    
And just ripped them hills apart 

C          G              D  Em 
  Long forgotten, now forsaken 
C                      G          D    
  But the good Lord's love will abide 

C       G            D Em  C 
  Hell came in high water
