C#m G#m A E B
[Verse 1]
A E A
Got no business crying, living out beyond the blue
C#m E A
High on paper mountain, where you live the lie you choose
E A
You turn to face your neighbors and you never meet an eye
C#m E A
The currents overtake you, the ink's not even dry
[Chorus]
B A
High on paper mountain where the black river flows
B A
Peace is just a legend, no one knows
B A
But the old gods have fallen, people watched them go
C#m
So will paper mountain
[Repeat Intro]
C#m G#m A E B
[Verse 2]
A E A
Your reading that old story, it's a dire circumstance
C#m E A
You comment on the image, a little face behind the fence
A E A
The mission bells are ringing for a mother and a child
C#m [Lick 1] A
You say all the news is bad and your on to something else

[Verse 3]
A E A
The desert night is stirring as paper mountain moves
C#m E A
The rios running wild and the cactus are in bloom
A E A
She's clinging to her freedom and her peace beneath the stars
C#m E A
The eagle spreads her talons, there's a rattle in the dark
[Chorus]
B A
High on paper mountain where the black river flows
B A
Peace is just a legend, no one knows
B A
But the old gods have fallen, people watched them go
C#m
So will paper mountain
