Gordon Lightfoot - The Mountains and Maryann
CAPO: 5th Fret
[INTRO:] C Gsus2 Eb/G Gsus2
[VERSE 1:]
C
All is well, I've made my peace where highways never end
Dm G
Yesterday's a memory, today is just a friend
C F D G
For the mountains and Maryann are calling me again
C F C
And the red pines will bow their heads
F C
The rivers and the watersheds
D G C
Will swallow up my tears, all is well
[VERSE 2:]
I left the cold mid-western towns behind
Dm G
There's a semi up the road ahead, I'll take him in my time
C F D G
For the hot blooded mountain love is calling me again
C F C
And the vagabond within me cries
F C
The wind and rain might burn my eyes
D G
But I won't feel the pain
[CHORUS:]
C F C
For the mountains and Maryann
F Gsus4 Gsus2 Eb/G Gsus2
Will greet me there as only she can do
[VERSE 3:]
C
All is well, as I swing up to the border bent for hell
Dm G
And the service station man agreed, I didn't look too well
C F D G
But the mountains and Maryann are calling out to me
C F
And I got my bed roll on my back
C F C
And everything that I could pack
D G C
To see me on my way, all is well
[VERSE 4:]
I've made my peace and man I'm feeling fine
Dm G
And the losers that I left behind I'll think about some other time
C F D G
For the border men were all my friends, they couldn't find a dime
C F C
And the prairie towns go sailing by
F C
Saskatchewan, there's mud in your eye
D G
I'm leaving you behind
[VERSE 5:]
C F D G
There'll be hot blooded mountain love to satisfy my soul
C F C
And the red pines will bow their heads
F C
The rivers and the watersheds
D G
Will carry us along
[CHORUS:]
C F C
For the mountains and Maryann
F Gsus4 Gsus2 Eb/G Gsus2
Will greet me there as only she can do
[VERSE :]
C
All is well, the foothills are coming into sight
Dm G
Today is just a memory, the future is tonight
C F C
And the red pines will bow their heads
F C
The rivers and the watersheds
D G
Will carry us along
[CHORUS:]
C F C
And the mountains and Maryann
F Gsus4 Gsus2 Eb/G Gsus2 C
Will greet me there as only she can do
