Tom: Em
Verso 1:
Em
She was always walking singing to her footsteps
Am Em
Dirt ditch paths and pine cones
Am Em
Digging up glass bottles
Em
Rusty springs from feather beds
Em
Old hubcaps on the picket fence
Am Em
She planted beds of flowers
Am Em
Stayed outside for hours
Refrão:
C Em Am
In spirit she's drifted to the ocean
C Em Am
All those years of waiting for the water
C Em Am
She's watching long shadows caught in the tide
C Em Am
But the sunset by the sea is in her mind
C Em Am
The sunset by the sea is in her mind
Verso 2:
Em
And she was always hoping to someday leave the mountain
Am Em
Domestic chores and children
Am Em
The darkness of the winter
Em
Painting all these mermaids
Em
Wandering to the sea shore
Am Em Am Em
She wanted him to follow but his heart is with the hillside
(Refrão)
Verso 3:
Em
These days you'll find her walking
Em
Singing to the deep sea
Am Em
But she will always love him
Am Em
Lost up in the mountains
Em
The sun set in the ocean
Em
Gathering shells and beach glass
Am Em
Dancing with the rogue waves
Am Em
Gives her peace of mind
Am Em
But she will always love him
Am Em
Lost up in the mountain
Am Em
Oh she will always love him
Am Em
Lost up in the mountain
