I Have Been To The Mountain
Intro:
Bbm, D#m X 4
[Verse 1]
Bbm D#m
Calling out
Bbm D#m
Demanding answers
Bbm D#m
Bleeding skies
Bbm D#m
Cry for hours
Bbm D#m
Dropping peace bombs
Bbm D#m
Clutching rails
Bbm D#m
Scarlet mirrors
Bbm D#m
Scarlet stains I see
[Chorus]
F# Bbm D#m
I have been to the mountain
F# Bbm D#m
And I have walked on the shore
F# Bbm D#m
I have seen
F# Bbm
But I can't see 'em no more
Bbm, D#m X 4
[Verse 2]
Bbm D#m
Round the mouth
Bbm D#m
Make an echo
Bbm D#m
Destroy the destroyer
Bbm D#m
And do it fast
Bbm D#m
That man lived in this town
Bbm D#m
Til that pig took him down
Bbm D#m
And have you heard the sound
Bbm D#m
Of a man stop breathing, pleading?
F#, Bbm, D#m X 3
F#, Bbm X 1
[Bridge]
Bbm, D#m X 8
[Solo]
F# Bbm D#m
I have been to the valley
F# Bbm D#m
And I have sung all her songs
F# Bbm D#m
Watch me see
F# Bbm D#m
Watch me sing along,
F# Bbm D#m
and I say "I have been to the mountain
F# Bbm D#m
And I have walked on her shore
F# Bbm D#m
I have seen
F# Bbm
But I can't see 'em no more"
Play Bbm, D#m to end.
