Switzerland chords by Ghost Mice

Chords with lyrics

Next up is the always-neutral country of Switzerland, where our intrepid heroes climb a mountain and, in
a spiritual awakening on its summit, forsake their normal ambrosia of sliced, fried potatoes and give
legumes a shot instead. They also encounter and photograph a bunch of baby sheep, one of which is used as the
cover art for the album.

E MajorE - A augmentedA - BB

    E MajorE
Looking out the foggy window of the train it seemed insane,
       A augmentedA
The rain was comin' down so fast it couldn't make it in the drains
      BB          A augmentedA       BB       A augmentedA
And all the roads had turned to rivers and the stairs to waterfalls.

    BB      A augmentedA           BB      A augmentedA
All the buildings in Zurich had great graffiti on their walls
    E MajorE              A augmentedA           E MajorE
We only saw it for a second when the lightning bolts would strike
E MajorE                 A augmentedA              BB
The city had no power; there was a monster in the sky blocking out the sunlight
    BB          A augmentedA   BB   E MajorE
It was hard to tell whether it was day or night


     BB           A augmentedA        BB        A augmentedA
When our train pulled into the station, we were happy just to be alive
    BB            A augmentedA
We had made it on time and the storm had surrendered
  BB           A augmentedA
We set up our tent in the victorious sunlight
    E MajorE            A augmentedA
And we walked into town and we looked around
  BB               A augmentedA
We stared through the windows at Swiss army knives


    E MajorE            A augmentedA
We were in a deep valley in the middle of two lakes
     BB               A augmentedA
With the mighty mystic mountains rising up on each side
    A augmentedA            BB         E MajorE            A augmentedA
And we slept that night and we dreamed about the climb that we were gonna make
   A augmentedA          BB             E MajorE
Cause life's not about the stuff that you have; it's more about the chances you take
E MajorE          BB      E MajorE
It's more about the chances you take.

     E MajorE      BB       A augmentedA        E MajorE
We bought two cans of beans, one for you and one for me,
   BB             A augmentedA      E MajorE
And a bag of peanuts too then we laced up our boots
        BB       A augmentedA       E MajorE
We hiked up the hills passing ponies on the way
          BB          A augmentedA       E MajorE
Stoppin', reachin' through the fence to feed them some hay


E MajorE           BB       A augmentedA         E MajorE
Now the trees grew so thick that we couldn't see their tops
E MajorE           BB         A augmentedA       E MajorE
As we twisted like the roots through the rocks and the moss
E MajorE           BB       A augmentedA      E MajorE
Coming down around the corner came a herd of baby lambs
E MajorE         BB        A augmentedA      E MajorE
I swear I took at least a hundred pictures of them


    BB                 A augmentedA
When we made it out of the trees and back into the light
     BB             A augmentedA
We could see we were gettin' pretty close to the sky
     BB      A augmentedA
Under our feet perfect blue, pink, and white
     BB         A augmentedA
Were the smallest, sweetest edelweiss

  E MajorE                BB
And Gandalf would have been a great guide
    E MajorE       BB    A augmentedA
As the trail we were trusting hugged the mountainside
E MajorE           BB
Deep down below in the ice and the snow
  A augmentedA               E MajorE
The river cut a gorge through the rock like a knife


E MajorE                  BB        A augmentedA       E MajorE
And we could see the spot where the giant pushed his feet into the stone
E MajorE             BB    A augmentedA         E MajorE
And kept the mountain from fallin', saving the village below
E MajorE       BB     A augmentedA
And the crows, the crows, came to say hello
   E MajorE         BB               E MajorE
They laughed at you and me; they said we were way too slow
E MajorE     A augmentedA         A augmentedA        E MajorE
The crows, the crows, without effort, sank and rose
E MajorE            BB
They laughed at you and me
BB       A augmentedA       E MajorE
They sang that we should have flown


When we got up to the top we had to stop cause there was nowhere left to go

And so we ate our beans and we shared our nuts with those big black braggin' crows

We smashed our cans, we put on our packs, and started back on our way home

I liked goin' up better than comin' down but everything comes back down, you know


     E MajorE    BB    A augmentedA
Yeah, the sun, the sun will melt away the snow,
    E MajorE      BB      A augmentedA
And the rivers, the rivers will flow,
  E MajorE     BB         A augmentedA     E MajorE
the crows, the crows, will sing together and alone
E MajorE     BB      A augmentedA        E MajorE     BB     A augmentedA
This whole world is our home. They said make this world your home.
