C/G Fmaj7 C/G
[Verse]
G C/G Fmaj7 C/G
When I awoke from my dream
Am G Fmaj7
Awakened by the darkness of the night
C/G Fmaj7 C/G
I was unprepared to be unseen
Am G Fmaj7
I was prepared to fight
[Chorus]
Am G
Oh the rains are bitter, the winds are strong
Fmaj7 G C/G
In the mountains of sorrow and the rivers of song
[Verse]
G C/G Fmaj7 C/G
And I was unprepared in my animal state
Am G Fmaj7
To contemplate the cruel winds of fate
C/G Am
And I say a prayer for those who carry on
C/G G C/G
Past the mountains of sorrow and the rivers of song
[Bridge]
Fmaj7
And I'll fade away
C/G
I'll fade away
Am G
In a glass of corn liquor
Fmaj7
The memories of eatin'
Fm C/G
Memories of fire, and of wine
[Instrumental]
Fmaj7 C/G Am G Fmaj7 Fm
[Verse]
C/G Fmaj7 C/G
One by one, the procession passes
Am G Fmaj7
Later in the day we'll raise our glasses
C/G Am
To a good man, now belongs
C/G G C/G
To the mountains of sorrow and the rivers of song
[Instrumental]
C/G Fmaj7 C/G Am G Fmaj7 C/G Am C/G G C/G
[Verse]
C/G Fmaj7 C/G
And I have a cabin of solitude
Am G Fmaj7
I built it with my own hands, it's quite crude
C/G Fmaj7 C/G
Ain't much to it, this I know
Am G Fmaj7
But I won't leave too much behind me here when I go
[Chorus]
Am G
I"ll be seeking my fortunes, carrying on
Fmaj7 G C/G
Past the mountains of sorrow and the rivers of song
C/G G C/G
To the mountains of sorrow and the rivers of song
C/G G C/G
Oh, these mountains of sorrow and these rivers of song
