I m unsure if the lyrics are exactly correct, but it s pretty close.
Capo 2nd fret.
Well I come from the city on the Island see
where the girls are pretty and the boys are free
what would they do, would they do without me
now I have gone to the mountain trees
You gotta follow the steep and the winding road
at a thousand feet a-lighter comes your load
a thousand more feeling light as air
happiness like this is rare
[CHORUS]
And I m going down to the general store
and the cowboy bar right next door
gonna dance to the local band
and raise a glass to this mountain land
raise a glass to this mountain land
when you come from the sea everything is strange
the prairie lands and the mountain range
you let go of your fear and your lonely rage
you take a deep breath and you turn the page
well you can do it together, you can do it apart
you can use your head or you can use your heart
but be sure that you try with all your might
to make your heavy load seem light
[CHORUS]
Well I come from the city on the Island see
where the girls are pretty and the boys are free
what would they do, would they do without me
now I have gone to the mountain trees
[CHORUS]
[CHORUS]
