Verse:  
          D  
There's a place in a piney hollow  
          D  
That no one but me can find  
          D  
Some Choctaw built it in the hillside  
          F   G             D  
Stone by stone in a simpler time  

            D  
It's a holy place, my daddy showed me  
        D  
Back before this land of mine  
       G    F           D  
On the blue side of the mountain  
          F  G           D  
Where the sun don't ever shine  

  
   G        F           D  
So deep and dark like a hurtin' down in my heart  
                                                G  
Maybe somethin' there will show me some kind of sign  
       G   F            D  
On the blue side of the mountain  
          F  G           D  
Where the sun don't ever shine

I'm going back to a world of shadow  
Gotta find some peace, for I lose my mind  
On the blue side of the mountain  
Where the sun don't ever shine  

So deep and dark like a hurtin' down in my heart  
Maybe somethin' there will show me some kind of sign  
On the blue side of the mountain  
Where the sun don't ever shine  
Where the sun don't ever shine
