Mountains of Sorrow Amos Lee
[Intro]
[C/G] [Fmaj7] [C/G]
[Verse]
When [G]I a[C/G]woke [Fmaj7]from my [C/G]dream
[Am]Awakened by the [G]darkness of the [Fmaj7]night
I was unpre[C/G]pared to[Fmaj7] be un[C/G]seen
[Am]I was pre[G]pared to [Fmaj7]fight
[Cborus]
Oh the rains are [Am]bitter, the winds are [G]strong
In the m[Fmaj7]ountains of sorrow and the r[G]ivers of [C/G]song
[Verse]
And I was u[G]nprep[C/G]ared in my [Fmaj7]animal s[C/G]tate
To c[Am]ontemplate the c[G]ruel winds of [Fmaj7]fate
And I say a p[C/G]rayer for those who carry[Am] on
Past the m[C/G]ountains of sorrow and the r[G]ivers of [C/G]song
[Bridge]
And I'll fa[Fmaj7]de away
I'll fade [C/G]away
In a g[Am]lass of c[G]orn liquor
The m[Fmaj7]emories of eatin'
M[Fm]emories of fire, and of [C/G]wine
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
One by [C/G]one, the pr[Fmaj7]ocession p[C/G]asses
L[Am]ater in the d[G]ay we'll raise our g[Fmaj7]lasses
To a good [C/G]man, now bel[Am]ongs
To the m[C/G]ountains of sorrow and the r[G]ivers of [C/G]song
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
And I have a c[C/G]abin of[Fmaj7] solit[C/G]ude
I b[Am]uilt it with my o[G]wn hands, it's qui[Fmaj7]te crude
Ain't much [C/G]to it, [Fmaj7]this I [C/G]know
But I [Am]won't leave too much b[G]ehind me here [Fmaj7]when I go
[Cborus]
I"ll be seeking my f[Am]ortunes, carrying [G]on
Past the m[Fmaj7]ountains of sorrow and the r[G]ivers of [C/G]song
To the m[C/G]ountains of sorrow and the r[G]ivers of [C/G]song
Oh, these m[C/G]ountains of sorrow and these r[G]ivers of [C/G]song
