CAPO: 2nd Fret



INTRO: G  Em  C  D  (2x)

  G          Em             G 
I went for a month into the mountains 
    C            G      Bm        C
And breathed the air so fresh and clean 
  G                 Em           G 
I walked across the bridge to my cabin 
    C       Em    Bm     C
And smiling faces waited there


   G           Em            G 
We swam and we rode upon the horses 
   C        G             Bm     C
We sang and danced in one joyous wheel 
G              Em                 G 
Tetherball and four-square by the fountain 
    C          Em           Bm    C
And heart-sung blessings at every meal 


          D               G   
I want to live, I want to run
C             G
Through these open fields 
               D                    G
Where there is hope, where there is joy 
          C         Bm
Where the mountains yield 
       Em                             A
To our prayers and songs for peace on Earth 
         C
Where we nestle in our beds 
                    Bm          D
And hear the finest symphony on Earth 


  G          Em             G 
I went for a month into the mountains 
   C        G           Bm       C
I awoke and said, "Good morning, sun" 
    G            Em            G 
And as it rose into the sky we counted 
C       Em        Bm     C
All our blessings one by one 


  G            Em                G 
I acted in the plays and ran the courses 
    C            G    Bm     C
And stretched my body with delight 
G             Em                  G 
All a part of this great group of laughter 
     C        Em     Bm       C
That stayed until we said goodnight 


       D              G
Day is done, gone the sun 
            C         G
From lakes, hills and skies 
       D                G
And we stood around the fire 
          C       Bm
Warmed by embered light 
        Em                             A
Singing songs and prayers for peace on Earth 
        C
Then we nestled in our beds 
                     Bm          D
And heard the finest symphony on Earth 


G                      Em     G 
When my time had ended in the mountains 
          C        G        Bm      C
My mother drove me down the winding roads 
        G                     Em             G 
Weaving through the tears and towns into the flatlands 
      C        Em             Bm      C
And I wondered which I should call my home 


    G             Em               G 
The world has its meanness and vainglory 
          C       G    Bm    C
Sometimes I think I cannot endure 
    G               Em                G 
And then I close my eyes and feel the mountains 
    C          Em            Bm   C
And hold close all of my mem'ries there 


              D                   G
Where I could live, where I could run
            C    G
Through the open fields 
               D                    G
Where there is hope, where there is joy 
          C         Bm
Where the mountains yield 
       Em                             A
To our prayers and songs for peace on Earth 
         C
Where we nestled in our beds 
                     Bm          D
And heard the finest symphony on Earth
