Mountains Chords

(ver. 1)
Sparklehorse

Tuning: Standard

Hey there; been a while. Here's a terrific Sparklehorse tune for you, that I can't 
believe hasn't been tabbed yet. The song itself is recorded on a slightly overdriven / 
compressed acoustic guitar, but you can strum this out cleanly and it still sounds wonderful:

Intro: E G D Am

Every other A-Minor chord, Mark does a little riff like this:
e|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------0h1--0---------------------------------------------------------|
G|-----2--------2-0-----------------------------------------------------|
D|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--0-------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------------------------------------|


Verse:

E            G
Once I was a big old bear

D                 Am
Reigning blows on sparkly snares

E              G
In the woods after the snow

D                         Am
The white noise witch her hammers cold

E                G
Rest beneath the pine and rose

G                D
In our suits and Sunday clothes


Chorus:

C     G     C         D
Cheer up my brother

C          G    C       D
It's gonna be al-right


All the instruments cut out, save for this guitar riff:
e|-----------3----------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------0--------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-----4---3------------------------------------------------------------|
D|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------------------------------------|


Am            G                  C           D
  I know your hearts are heavy as mountains


e|-----------3----------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------0--------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-----4---3------------------------------------------------------------|
D|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------------------------------------|

Am            G               D
  We're gonna go back home one day



Verse - Chorus - Verse - Fuzz/Tinkle out...



There are a few flourishes on the guitar, some lazy hammer-ons here and
there. They aren't hard to pick up. Make it your own, it's a beautiful song.

Thanks for reading!
