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]
