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
CAm
Well we air clear blue aching skies in the morning after,
FG
and memories of gold on the run, flying around,
CAm
was there a drunken cloud over someone just empty,
FG
a vision of a mountain you say, so where did it go?
Bridge
G7AmFG
It was light and i held it like a child to be saved
G7AmF
from the fires and from the falling down satellites
G
but still wondering
Chorus
CFCAm
"Damn you always treat me like a stranger, mountain
EmAmFG
though you've seen the shadow between the city and what is mine,
CFCAm
and fallen kids all rising men among their logs, but leavers,
EmAmFG
suddenly darker in their eyes and their broken smiles,
GC
it's only what these kids will haul around."
CAFG
Verse
CAm
Well there's a lot of sullen land for hungry feed of answers,
FG
and medicine for balancing things, like seeing your ghosts,
CAm
So thank god we're bright, said the lanterns brother,
FG
cause I don't know a thing about boats or the land I see
Bridge
G7AmFG
It was day and I stood there once again climbing quick
G7AmFG
when I knew you were the one throwing dying stars on our gathering
but he said
Chorus
CFCAm
"Damn you always treat me like a mountain, stranger
EmAmFG
though I have never seen your shadows or fading lights,
CFCAm
I'm just a rock that you'll be picking up through all your ages,
EmAmFG
always believing there's a canyon for every blind,
GC
it's only what these kids will haul around."
CAmFG
till you get bored
