Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain,

with the barkers and the colored balloons

DmDm G+G
you're leaving there too soon.

It's so noisy at the fair,
G+G
but all your friends are there

And the candy floss you had,
G+G
and your mother and your dad.

G+G FF
with the barkers and the colored balloons

You can't be twenty on Sugar Mountain,
DmDm G+G
though you're thinking that you're leaving there too soon;
DmDm G+G
you're leaving there too soon.

as you read the hidden note.

Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain

you're leaving there too soon.

and it's your first cigarette.
