Caroline Herring - I Went For A Month


CAPO: 2nd Fret



INTRO: G  Em  C  D  (2x)

  G          Em             G
I went for a month into the mountains
    C            G      Bm        C
And breathed the air so fresh and clean
  G                 Em           G
I walked across the bridge to my cabin
    C       Em    Bm     C
And smiling faces waited there

   G           Em            G
We swam and we rode upon the horses
   C        G             Bm     C
We sang and danced in one joyous wheel
G              Em                 G
Tetherball and four-square by the fountain
    C          Em           Bm    C
And heart-sung blessings at every meal


          D               G
I want to live, I want to run
C             G
Through these open fields
               D                    G
Where there is hope, where there is joy
          C         Bm
Where the mountains yield
       Em                             A
To our prayers and songs for peace on Earth
         C
Where we nestle in our beds
                    Bm          D
And hear the finest symphony on Earth


  G          Em             G
I went for a month into the mountains
   C        G           Bm       C
I awoke and said, "Good morning, sun"
    G            Em            G
And as it rose into the sky we counted
C       Em        Bm     C
All our blessings one by one


  G            Em                G
I acted in the plays and ran the courses
    C            G    Bm     C
And stretched my body with delight
G             Em                  G
All a part of this great group of laughter
     C        Em     Bm       C
That stayed until we said goodnight


       D              G
Day is done, gone the sun
            C         G
From lakes, hills and skies
       D                G
And we stood around the fire
          C       Bm
Warmed by embered light
        Em                             A
Singing songs and prayers for peace on Earth
        C
Then we nestled in our beds
                     Bm          D
And heard the finest symphony on Earth


G                      Em     G
When my time had ended in the mountains
          C        G        Bm      C
My mother drove me down the winding roads
        G                     Em             G
Weaving through the tears and towns into the flatlands
      C        Em             Bm      C
And I wondered which I should call my home


    G             Em               G
The world has its meanness and vainglory
          C       G    Bm    C
Sometimes I think I cannot endure
    G               Em                G
And then I close my eyes and feel the mountains
    C          Em            Bm   C
And hold close all of my mem'ries there


              D                   G
Where I could live, where I could run
            C    G
Through the open fields
               D                    G
Where there is hope, where there is joy
          C         Bm
Where the mountains yield
       Em                             A
To our prayers and songs for peace on Earth
         C
Where we nestled in our beds
                     Bm          D
And heard the finest symphony on Earth
