Mountain Chocolate Starfish
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 - G - Bm - Am/G - C/G
[G]There once was a wrong, t[Gsus]hought it was right
[G]There once was a truth that t[Gsus]hought it could lie
Then they s[Em]aw
[D]They were nothin[C/G]g new at all[F/G]
[G]After the storm, along came the [Gsus]landslide
[G]Would they climb? Would they swi[Gsus]m? Time to decide
If I had to[Em] choose
[C]I know w[Am]hat I’d [D]do
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/c/chocolate_starfish/mountain_crd.html )
[G]You wanted me to be a mountain
I’d rather be a [Bm]river
[Am]Water flow can was[C]h a hill away[G]
You wanted me to[G] fly
I want to get hi[Bm]gh
[Am]How else am I gonna see [C]what I want to see?[G]
I am for now, you are forever
And behind the rust is buried treasure
Is it gold?
Is it something we can hold?
[G]All will come and go (all will come and go)
[G]All will come and go (like a river flow)
I always knew
What I had to do
You wanted me to be a mountain
I’d 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
I’d 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?
