Dave Carter And Tracy Grammer - The Mountain


CAPO: 3rd Fret


INTRO: Em D C Em

   G            D
I was born in a forked-tongued story
Em      D            Am   Em
Raised up by merchants and drugstore liars
   G          D
Now I walk on the paths of glory
Em     D       Em  G C
One foot in ice and one in fire

CHORUS:
     D    C       D    Em D C Em C
I see the mountain, the mountain come to me
     D    C      D   Em D C Em C
I see the mountain and that is all I see


     G            D
Some poor prophet comes, some find solace
Em      D         Am  Em
Some lay him down in a junkyard bay
     G           D
Some will chase us and some will call us
Em     D     Em G C
Gone, gone, gone in a day


CHORUS:
      D    C       D    Em D C Em C
Gone to the mountain, the mountain come to me
     D    C      D   Em D C Em C
I see the mountain and that is all I see


INSTRUMENTAL: Em D G Am Em D G Am Em D G D Em D Em


    G         D
Miller take me and miller grind me
Em     D            Am  Em
Scatter my bones on the wild green tide
   G           D
Maybe some roving bird will find me
Em    D      Em  G C
Over the water we'll ride


CHORUS:
     D    C       D    Em D C Em C
Over the mountain, the mountain come to me
     D    C      D   Em D C Em C
I see the mountain and that is all I see


      G           D
Some build temples and some find altars
Em      D            Am  Em
Some come in tall hats and robes spun fine
    G           D
Some in rags, some in gemstone halters
Em      D      Em  G C
Some push the pegs back in line


CHORUS:
     D    C       D    Em D C Em C
I see the mountain, the mountain come to me
     D    C      D   Em D C Em C
I see the mountain and that is all I see

endless mountain of cedar trees, I walk alone, I walk alone]
