lyrics

The Mountain (Ab)
John Holkeboer


Ab / Ab / Ab / Ab /
You and I come a walkin down - we're walking down the mountain
Ab / Ab / Ab / Ab /
the mountain is a shotgun shack - the shotgun shack is a place in the back
Eb / Eb / Eb / Eb /
where the sunshine flows completely -completely and discreetly
Eb / Eb / Eb7 / Eb7 /
Discretion is the name of the game - the name of the game is to feel no pain

Ab / Ab / Ab / Ab /
and the river's wide and mysterious - mysterious and delirious
Ab / Ab / Ab / Ab /
delirious because it flows uphill - when we're coming down it's going uphill still
Eb / Eb / Eb / Eb /
And the still's just around the corner - with every step you're getting warmer
Eb / Eb / Eb7 / Eb7 /
it's the warmest day of the warmest year - so just fill up your jug, don't you have no fear

Db / Db / Ab / Ab /
And I - I wish I had your soul
Eb / Eb / Ab / Ab7 /
you never waste a day - you give it all to rock & roll
Db / Db / Ab / Ab /
And I - I love it when you say
Eb / Eb / Ab / Ab7 /
Come on and let the good times roll - Come on and let the good times stay

solo over half verse

V2:

Give me a mountain with nothing to do
Give me some good friends with something to prove
give me a pencil and something to write on
lift the latch on the fence, go in and then turn the light on
that's the place we used to flop on weekends
weekends when we went off the deep end
The deeper the pool meant the steeper the climb
the steeper the climb mean the better the time

Repeat Chorus

solo over whole verse

Repeat Chorus x 2 & OUT
