Verse 1:
    F                           C
She moves with the grace of the deer and the squirrel
F                            C
High in the mountains on the edge of the world
Dm                    Bb
With her haunted eyes turned toward the sea
    A7                                             D       A
Her skirts wrapped around her and her hair blowin’ free


Verse 2:
D                          A
Down beside the ocean, the doorways face the sea
        D                    A7
Looking out across the water on eternity
Bm                       G
Down from the mountains, like the rolling tides
          Am                    B7                E
Comes the seashore mountain lady with the haunted eyes

Verse 3:
F                    C
Can you tell me just how you came to be
F                       C
Living in the mountains by the rolling sea?
        Dm                              Bb
Did you leave behind a shelter for your long hair blowing free?
       A7                           D    A
‘Cause that’s what your eyes say to me


Verse 4:
    D                            A
You sit there with your baby and you’re all dressed in blue
        D                           A
Wearing roses on your shoulders and mud-caked shoes
           Bm                    G
And you’re listening to the wind as it sings to you
     Am                                B7             E
From someplace down inside yourself as children often do


Verse 5:
        F                             C
Did you come here for the living that makes you try your wings?
    F                           C
For tasting cold and hunger and leaving pretty things?
        Dm                        Bb
Did you come here for someone who works with the land
       A7                              D
Who’ll reach inside your soul with his hands?


Interlude:

Verse 6:
D                       A7
Living in the mountains by the rolling sea
    D                  A7
You live with the wind always blowing free
     Bm                    G
That blows in the rain and bends the growing trees
    Am                         B7                E
And tears at your heart like a seashore mountain lady


Verse 7:
F                               C
She moves with the grace of the deer and the squirrel
F                            C
High in the mountains on the edge of the world
Dm                    Bb
With her haunted eyes turned toward the sea
    A7                                             D
Her skirts wrapped around her and her hair blowin’ free
