Mountains

the song is in F minor , but has been transposed here to a minor for piano simplicity . C i was just a boy Am my father seemed a mountain then C F with a voice that could shake the seas C Am my mother’s ghost hung across his shoulders E F and he said she was still watching over me C my brother was home Am just returned on army leave C F told his stories with a distant stare C and as it snowed Am the wind was howling through the trees E F C and i spent my night just listening by the fire C , Am , Em , F , C , Am , E , F , E , Em , E , Em Em F my hands move the creases from my brow C soft as a breath G it’s like a feather Em F i dreamed of a lonely voice that night C quiet as death G outside my window Em F it sang a sad and lovely tune C clear as a bell G soft as a shiver Em F it said , i want you all the time Fm C it said , i want you all the time C , Em , C , Em , C , Em , C , Em C Em goodbye bad thoughts C Em i’m safe under covers C Em so goodbye bad thoughts C Em ’cause i’m safe under covers C now i can see you again Am , C , F , C , Am , E , F , Am , C , F , C , Am , E , F ,
