Verso 1:
Em
She was always walking singing to her footsteps
Am                   Em
Dirt ditch paths and pine cones
Am               Em
Digging up glass bottles
Em
Rusty springs from feather beds
Em
Old hubcaps on the picket fence
    Am              Em
She planted beds of flowers
Am                 Em
Stayed outside for hours

Refrão:
   C              Em            Am
In spirit she's drifted to the ocean
 C                  Em             Am
All those years of waiting for the water
        C            Em           Am
She's watching long shadows caught in the tide
         C            Em           Am
But the sunset by the sea is in her mind
    C             Em            Am
The sunset by the sea is in her mind

Verso 2:
Em
And she was always hoping to someday leave the mountain
    Am                Em
Domestic chores and children
    Am              Em
The darkness of the winter
Em
Painting all these mermaids
Em
Wandering to the sea shore
     Am           Em             Am                Em
She wanted him to follow but his heart is with the hillside

(Refrão)

Verso 3:
Em
These days you'll find her walking
Em
Singing to the deep sea
    Am              Em
But she will always love him
Am             Em
Lost up in the mountains
Em
The sun set in the ocean
Em
Gathering shells and beach glass
Am               Em
Dancing with the rogue waves
Am                 Em
Gives her peace of mind
    Am              Em
But she will always love him
Am             Em
Lost up in the mountain
   Am              Em
Oh she will always love him
Am             Em
Lost up in the mountain
