Capo on 6 to sound like album version. These are basic chords, but picking can be worked
out if you listen the the track a bit.

Intro C Am F G

Verse
                        C                             Am
Well we air clear blue aching skies in the morning after,
                 F                       G
and memories of gold on the run, flying around,
                    C                       Am
was there a drunken cloud over someone just empty,
                  F                           G
a vision of a mountain you say, so where did it go?

Bridge
       G7          Am              F             G
It was light and i held it like a child to be saved
       G7                   Am              F
from the fires and from the falling down satellites
           G
but still wondering

Chorus
   C               F               C       Am
"Damn you always treat me like a stranger, mountain
Em                      Am                F               G
though you've seen the shadow between the city and what is mine,
            C              F                C          Am
and fallen kids all rising men among their logs, but leavers,
Em       Am               F                     G
suddenly darker in their eyes and their broken smiles,
G                                     C
it's only what these kids will haul around."

C Am F G

Verse
                        C                             Am
Well there's a lot of sullen land for hungry feed of answers,
                  F                                  G
and medicine for balancing things, like seeing your ghosts,
                     C                          Am
So thank god we're bright, said the lanterns brother,
                      F                              G
cause I don't know a thing about boats or the land I see

Bridge
G7                Am               F               G
It was day and I stood there once again climbing quick
G7                      Am                  F               G
when I knew you were the one throwing dying stars on our gathering
but he said

Chorus
C                 F                  C        Am
"Damn you always treat me like a mountain, stranger
Em              Am             F                  G
though I have never seen your shadows or fading lights,
            C                  F                 C          Am
I'm just a rock that you'll be picking up through all your ages,
Em        Am                F                G
always believing there's a canyon for every blind,
G                                     C
it's only what these kids will haul around."

C Am F G
