For Every Mountain I Climb

      C
I saw Judas Iscariot, with a bottle 
of wine

       Am7
talkin suicide with an old friend of
 mine.

     F
They gathered a crowd down at the 
end of the tracks,

      C                          
and a woman cried out when is god 
        C - E7
comin' back?

        F
They pretended not to notice

                           C
they came down hard on the weak.

        F
Causing war and starvation, refusing

            G
to let them speak.


C         F          G
For every mountain i climb,

C         F          G
for every river that winds,

C         F              G
for every wind that will blow,

       F                           
I will send out my prayers for the 
G          C
children below.

        C                   Am7
... saw crazy horse walkin' alone in
 the dark

           F
on streets paved with the blood oF 
his broken heart.

C                                 
   He never dreamed it would turn 
         G
out like this.


        C
They pretend that they just don't 
see.

         Am7
They are blinded in their own 
mediocrity.

               F
They got their trophies and their 
cars and their houses on the hill,

         C                     
and they don't really care that 
                           C - E7
their wars are a killin' me


F                                
For every child that follows the 
C
dream

             F           G
ten thousand angels will fly.

F
No one will force them to run.

          C
They will stand up and fight,

         F         G
till the battle is won.


C         F          G
For every mountain i climb,

C         F          G
for every river that winds,

C         F              G
for every wind that will blow,

       F                           
I will send out my prayers for the 
G          C
children below.
