Chords with lyrics
Verse 1:
C# minorC#m G# minorG#m
Yonder way, in the distance
BB F#F#
Thunderheads comin' down
C# minorC#m G# minorG#m
Yesterday the sky was golden
BB F#F#
The days before, well they'd been good
C# minorC#m G# minorG#m
Every one that goes up
BB F#F#
must come down, it's gravity
C# minorC#m G# minorG#m
But staying grounded, safely still
BB F#F#
Robs the wanderer of being afraid
Pre Chorus:
A augmentedA E MajorE
Hammer down as you quest, friend
BB F#F#
To pick up speed through that next hill
A augmentedA E MajorE
I point my face into the wind, friend
BB
To exorcise the tragedies
G# minorG#m G#G#
That come with my free will
Chorus:
E MajorE BB
Comin' down from the mountain
F#F# C# minorC#m
Trips me up and makes me feel
E MajorE BB
Like I can never find my way
F#F#
Back to the top
E MajorE BB
And if Jesus calls before I wake
F#F# C# minorC#m
I'll consider that my break
E MajorE BB G#G#
And I will ask for nothin' nevermore
G#G# C# minorC#m
Nevermore, no no, nevermore
Verse 2:
C# minorC#m G# minorG#m
The valley rose, day lay hidden
BB F#F#
In the box, without much light
C# minorC#m G# minorG#m
And it gets easy to lose direction
BB F#F#
To hide with shadows, to wait for night
C# minorC#m G# minorG#m
And every one that goes down
BB F#F#
Should get back up and start to heaven
C# minorC#m G# minorG#m
But staying grounded, safely still
BB F#F#
In the arms of God that comes your way
Pre Chorus:
A augmentedA E MajorE
Take your time as you start up, friend
BB F#F#
Enjoy the view atop the rung
A augmentedA E MajorE
Point your face into the sky, friend
BB
Smile and know that mean old devil
G# minorG#m
Sure don't like the sun
G#G#
No he sure don't like it none
Chorus:
E MajorE BB
Comin' down from the mountain
F#F# C# minorC#m
Trips me up and makes me feel
E MajorE BB
Like I can never find my way
F#F#
Back to the top
E MajorE BB
And if Jesus calls before I wake
F#F# C# minorC#m
I'll consider that my break
E MajorE BB G#G#
And I will ask for nothin' nevermore
G#G# C# minorC#m
Nevermore, no no, nevermore
