She Came From The Mountains
Tuning:E A D G B E
Key:D
Capo:no capo
[Verse 1]
D Em A D
She came from the mountains Rocky Mountains eagle-high
Em A D
She's from where the mountains lean up to the sky
Em A D
Now she's back among the Rockies where mountain thunders cry
Em A D
Now the wind from off the mountains wails a sad goodbye
D Em A D
Once in Colorado Springs at the foot of old Pike's Peak
Em A D
I met a Rocky Mountain girl to my soul her heart let speak
Em A D
We went to tell her parents and an old grandmother said
Em A D
If you'll leave these mountains girl you'll wish that you were dead
D Em A D
The next day I took her with me to my far-off Iowa home
Em A D
Way out on the flatlands where the mountain winds don't moan
Em A D
Each footstep we took was happy or at least it shoudn't been
Em A D
But I would find her listening for that same lone mountain wind
[Chorus]
D Em A D
She came from the mountains Rocky Mountains eagle-high
Em A D
She's from where the mountains lean up to the sky
Em A D
Now she's back among the Rockies where mountain thunders cry
Em A D
Now the wind from off the mountains wails a sad goodbye
[Verse 2]
D Em A D
Months passed as fast as antelopes until one fatal dismal dawn
Em A D
I walked to see morning sun shine down on where she was gone
Em A D
I'd known that lately she'd been sad women sometimes get that way
Em A D
I hadn't guessed how much was wrong until that fatal day
D Em A D
She had left the weeping letter homesick with mountain names
Em A D
She was somewhere in the Rockies and I knew I'd been to blame
Em A D
So now in Colorado Springs I wait near old Pike's Peak
Em A D
Where once I met a mountain girl that mountain girl I seek
[Chorus]
D Em A D
She came from the mountains Rocky Mountains eagle-high
Em A D
She's from where the mountains lean up to the sky
Em A D
Now she's back among the Rockies where mountain thunders cry
Em A D
Now the wind from off the mountains wails a sad goodbye

She came from the mountains
Rocky Mountains eagle-high
She's from where the mountains
Lean up to the sky
Now she's back among the Rockies
Where mountain thunders cry
Now the wind from off the mountains
Wails a sad goodbye
Once in Colorado Springs
At the foot of old Pike's Peak
I met a Rocky Mountain girl
To my soul her heart let speak
We went to tell her parents
And an old grandmother said
"If you'll leave these mountains, girl
You'll wish that you were dead"
The next day I took her with me
To my far-off Iowa home
Way out on the flatlands
Where the mountain winds don't moan
Each footstep we took was happy
Or at least it shoudn't been
But I would find her listening
For that same lone mountain wind
She came from the mountains
Rocky Mountains eagle-high
She's from where the mountains
Lean up to the sky
Now she's back among the Rockies
Where mountain thunders cry
Now the wind from off the mountains
Wails a sad goodbye
Months passed as fast as antelopes
Until one fatal dismal dawn
I walked to see morning sun
Shine down on where she was gone
I'd known that lately she'd been sad
Women sometimes get that way
I hadn't guessed how much was wrong
Until that fatal day
She had left the weeping letter
Homesick with mountain names
She was somewhere in the Rockies
And I knew I'd been to blame
So now in Colorado Springs
I wait near old Pike's Peak
Where once I met a mountain girl
That mountain girl I seek
She came from the mountains
Rocky Mountains eagle-high
She's from where the mountains
Lean up to the sky
Now she's back among the Rockies
Where mountain thunders cry
Now the wind from off the mountains
Wails a sad goodbye
