Gordon Lightfoot - The Mountains and Maryann


CAPO: 5th Fret


INTRO:: C majorC Gsus2Gsus2 Eb/GEb/G Gsus2Gsus2

VERSE 1::
    C majorC
All is well, I've made my peace where highways never end
            DmDm      G+G
Yesterday's a memory, today is just a friend
    C majorC       FF      D MajorD      G+G
For the mountains and Maryann are calling me again
    C majorC       FF     C majorC
And the red pines will bow their heads
          FF  C majorC
The rivers and the watersheds
   D MajorD       G+G       C majorC
Will swallow up my tears, all is well

VERSE 2::

I left the cold mid-western towns behind
                    DmDm       G+G
There's a semi up the road ahead, I'll take him in my time
    C majorC      FF        D MajorD      G+G
For the hot blooded mountain love is calling me again
    C majorC      FF   C majorC
And the vagabond within me cries
            FF    C majorC
The wind and rain might burn my eyes
  D MajorD        G+G
But I won't feel the pain


CHORUS::
    C majorC       FF  C majorC
For the mountains and Maryann
            FF      Gsus4Gsus4  Gsus2Gsus2 Eb/GEb/G Gsus2Gsus2
Will greet me there as only she can do


VERSE 3::
    C majorC
All is well, as I swing up to the border bent for hell
                   DmDm       G+G
And the service station man agreed, I didn't look too well
    C majorC       FF      D MajorD       G+G
But the mountains and Maryann are calling out to me
   C majorC        FF
And I got my bed roll on my back
  C majorC         FF   C majorC
And everything that I could pack
  D MajorD      G+G      C majorC
To see me on my way, all is well

VERSE 4::

I've made my peace and man I'm feeling fine
                    DmDm           G+G
And the losers that I left behind I'll think about some other time
    C majorC        FF          D MajorD        G+G
For the border men were all my friends, they couldn't find a dime
    C majorC        FF    C majorC
And the prairie towns go sailing by
           FF      C majorC
Saskatchewan, there's mud in your eye
  D MajorD       G+G
I'm leaving you behind


VERSE 5::
      C majorC      FF        D MajorD     G+G
There'll be hot blooded mountain love to satisfy my soul
    C majorC       FF     C majorC
And the red pines will bow their heads
          FF  C majorC
The rivers and the watersheds
   D MajorD     G+G
Will carry us along


CHORUS::

    C majorC       FF  C majorC
For the mountains and Maryann
            FF      Gsus4Gsus4  Gsus2Gsus2 Eb/GEb/G Gsus2Gsus2
Will greet me there as only she can do


VERSE ::
    C majorC
All is well, the foothills are coming into sight
              DmDm     G+G
Today is just a memory, the future is tonight
    C majorC       FF     C majorC
And the red pines will bow their heads
          FF  C majorC
The rivers and the watersheds
   D MajorD     G+G
Will carry us along


CHORUS::
    C majorC       FF  C majorC
And the mountains and Maryann
            FF      Gsus4Gsus4  Gsus2Gsus2 Eb/GEb/G Gsus2Gsus2 C majorC
