The Mountains And Maryann chords by Gordon Lightfoot

Gordon Lightfoot - The Mountains and Maryann


CAPO: 5th Fret



INTRO:: C Gsus2 Eb/G Gsus2

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

VERSE 2::

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


CHORUS::
    C       F  C
For the mountains and Maryann
            F      Gsus4  Gsus2 Eb/G Gsus2
Will greet me there as only she can do


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


VERSE 4::

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


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


CHORUS::

    C       F  C
For the mountains and Maryann
            F      Gsus4  Gsus2 Eb/G Gsus2
Will greet me there as only she can do


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


CHORUS::
    C       F  C
And the mountains and Maryann
            F      Gsus4  Gsus2 Eb/G Gsus2 C
