Verse 1:
C majorC       G+G       C majorC
How far can a man stretch a dollar?
C majorC     FF
I thought as I counted my pay
            C majorC
I told myself over and over
             G+G
There must be some other way
  C majorC       G+G     C majorC
No light at the end of the tunnel
              FF
The whole world is falling apart
              C majorC
And I need this load on my shoulder
       G+G     C majorC
Like I need a hole in my heart

Chorus:
          FF      C majorC
I'm gonna move way back in the mountains
             G+G
Build a cabin nobody can find
     C majorC    FF      C majorC
I'm gonna move way back in the mountains
FF     C majorC     G+G    C majorC
I'm gonna leave this old city behind

Verse 2:
      G+G     C majorC
How does a man hold a woman
                FF
When he's standing on unsteady ground?
               C majorC
She's wantin' things I can't give her;
               G+G
Things that make her world go round
  C majorC      G+G     C majorC
I'm tradin' this microwave oven
              FF
For a cast iron pot-bellied stove
            C majorC
If all I can make is a livin'
FF   C majorC            G+G
Hey, I should have moved back a long time
C majorC
ago

Chorus:
          FF      C majorC
I'm gonna move way back in the mountains

Build a cabin nobody can find
     C majorC    FF      C majorC
I'm gonna move way back in the mountains
FF     C majorC     G+G    C majorC
I'm gonna leave this old city behind

          FF      C majorC
I'm gonna move way back in the mountains
             G+G
Build a cabin nobody can find
