C                             Dm                                     C
In the hills of North Carolina, since the time of the early settlers
                                                   F
A strange light has been witnessed near the top of Brown Mountain
        Dm7                                C                             G
To this day, no one can explain the mystery of the Brown Mountain Light

[Chorus]
C  F          C            Am                   C
High__ on the mountain and down in the valley below
C
It shines like the crown of an angel
    Am                          G7
And fades as the mist comes and goes
C  F        C       Bb                      C
Way___ over yonder, night after night until dawn
                                         Am
A faithful old slave, come back from the grave (searchin')
        C             G          C
For his master who is long, long gone

[Verse]
C
In the days of the old covered wagon
          Am                         C
When they camped on the flat for the night
                                                 Am
With the stars growing dim on the old high gorge rim
           C             F              C
They would watch for the Brown Mountain Light

[Chorus]
   F          C            Am                   C
High__ on the mountain and down in the valley below
C
It shines like the crown of an angel
    Am                          G7
And fades as the mist comes and goes
C  F        C       Bb                      C
Way___ over yonder, night after night until dawn
                                         Am
A faithful old slave, come back from the grave (searchin')
        C             G          C
For his master who is long, long gone

[Verse]
C
Long years ago a southern planter
     Am                         C
Came hunting in this wild land alone
                                           Am
And here, so they say, the hunter lost his way
    C       F             C
And never returned to his home

[Verse]
C
His trusty old slave brought a lantern
    Am                             C
And searched, but in vain, day and night
                                              Am
The old slave is gone, but his spirit wanders on
        C           F               C
And the old lantern still casts its light

[Chorus]
   F          C            Am                   C
High__ on the mountain and down in the valley below
C
It shines like the crown of an angel
    Am                          G7
And fades as the mist comes and goes
C  F        C       Bb                      C
Way___ over yonder, night after night until dawn
                                         Am
A faithful old slave, come back from the grave (searchin')
        C             G          C
For his master who is long, long gone
                                         Am
A faithful old slave, come back from the grave (searchin')
        C             G          C
For his master who is long, long gone
                      G          C
For his master who is long, long gone
