Montana
James Taylor – 2015
Verse 1
Capo - 2nd fret
D Em A7
I'm not smart enough for this life I've been livin',
G Em A
A little bit slow for the pace of the dream.
Bm G
It's not I'm ungrateful for all I've been given;
Em A D
But nevertheless, just the same...
Verse 2
D Em A7
I wish to my soul, I was back in Mon-tana,
G Em A
High on my mountain and deep in the snow.
Bm G
Up in my cabin, over the valley,
Em A D
Under the blankets with you.
Chorus
Bm G A D A
O---------- O----ver the ocean from here. (Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh)
Bm G A D A
O---------- O----ver the mountains from there. (Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh)
Verse 3
D Em A7
Who can imagine the scale of the forces
G Em A
That pushed this old mountain range up in the sky?
Bm G
Tec-tonic creation, e-rosion, mutation;
Em A D
Somethin' to pleasure God's eye.
Verse 4
D Em A7
The world is a wonder of lightnin' and thunder,
G Em A
And green of the ground as we fall from the sky.
Bm G
The old and new faces, the tribes and the races...
Em A D
Thousands of places to try.
Chorus
Bm G A D A
O---------- O----ver the ocean from here. (Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh)
Bm G A D A
O---------- O----ver the mountains from there. (Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh)
Bridge
D Em A Bm
One sits and waits while the other one wanders,
G Em A
And squanders his time with a life on the road.
Bm G
Down from the mountain, a-cross the wide ocean,
Bm A D
The world is in motion and cannot be slowed.
Verse 5
D Em A7
Enough for today... the de-mands of the moment,
G Em A
The thing on my mind is the work in my hand.
Bm G
Wood for the woodstove and water for coffee,
Em A D
Somethin' I can still under-stand.
Verse 6
D Em A7
We got a few friends but not many neighbors,
G Em A
The trip into town takes us most of the day.
Bm G
And after, "Hello", and "it's sure good to see you",
Em A D
It seems like there's nothin' to say.
Outro
Bm G A D
O---------- O----ver the ocean from here.
