Story behind the song
what inspired me to write this one was a History Change Show about MountainMen
Lyrics
MOUNTAINMEN
c em
Mountainmen were legends as the lands that they called home
f g
their names are written down as were kings on a thrown
c em
books are printed full with the adventures and the thrills
f g
of the men who discovered our mountains and our hills
f g
they Road thru the wilderness mapped all the lands
c f
made friends with the Indians yet fought em hand to hand
c g
they were mountainmen
c
they were mountainmen
c em
trapped beaver hunted bear, buffalo and such
f g
they lived off the land didn't ask for very much
c em
mountainmen is what they're called tough rugged men is all
f g
made our country what it is following the eagles call
f g
like Carson Boone and Bridger they roamed the backwoods land
c f
Fighting Mother Nature life made with there bare hands
c g
they were MountainMen
c
they were MountainMen
(--Lead area-- continue playing as if you were doing another verse)
f g
like Carson Boone and Bridger they roamed the backwoods land
c f
Fighting Mother Nature life made with there bare hands
c g
they were MountainMen
c
they were MountainMen
c em
so when you ride down the roads made of concrete and steel
f g
you find yourself winding thru a pass stop for a meal
c em
look around and remember all the men who were here first
f g
who busted brush and cut the trail who had that yearning thirst
f g
to find a place where we could live and build ourselves a home
c f
raise a family safe and sound and not be so alone.
c g
they were mountainmen
c g
they were mountainmen
c
they were mountainmen
