Hi All,
Been playing for years and thought I should actually contribute something
back. I nicked this tab from watching Adam Thompson (lead singer of
Chocolate Starfish and born legend) on this youtube video:

I reckon I m not too far off but please feel free to send any corrections.
I d be very sad if this song disappeared into the past. It s a beautiful
song sung by someone who can belt out a hell of a tune...
Cheers...
Standard Tuning
Mountain - Chocolate Starfish
Intro - - - / -
There once was a wrong, thought it was right
There once was a truth that thought it could lie
Then they saw
They were nothing new at all
After the storm, along came the landslide
Would they climb? Would they swim? Time to decide
If I had to choose
I know what Iâd do
You wanted me to be a mountain
Iâd rather be a river
Water flow can wash a hill away
You wanted me to fly
I want to get high
How else am I gonna see what I want to see?
I am for now, you are forever
And behind the rust is buried treasure
Is it gold?
Is it something we can hold?
All will come and go (all will come and go)
All will come and go (like a river flow)
I always knew
What I had to do
You wanted me to be a mountain
Iâd rather be a river
Water flow can wash a hill away
You wanted me to fly
I want to get high
How else am I gonna see what I want to see?
I always knew
There was rust between the truth
I always knew
What I had to do
You wanted me to be a mountain
Iâd rather be a river
Water flow can wash a hill away
You wanted me to fly
I want to get high
How else am I gonna see what I want to see?
Na Na Na Na Na...
(You want me to be a mountain)
You want me to be a river
Water flow can wash that hill
Wash it away, wash it away
(You wanted me to fly)
Ooh, you wanted me to fly
How else am I gonna see what I want to see?
