[Intro]

Riff 1 and 2 x2

[Verse 1]

     R1                R2           
  R1             R2    R1  R2
Open handed I tried to live among 
all people, ideas aloft
     R1                R2           
        R1                    R2
Open handed I read the books, I 
learned the histories, I sang the 
songs
                Fm              
Until mountains bellowed that my 
             Gm
friends are flawed
                      Fm           
And not to forget sorrow and all 
        Gm
the other Gods
                      Fm           
And that my mouth was dirty and 
               Gm
that my ears were clogged
Continues after the ad
Remove ads
And of course that I'm flawed 
Fm
also...
            Gm
And then it stopped

[Verse 2]

R1 R2
      R1                          R2
Open handedness had me in it's grasp
                     R1
I was running around frantically
                       R2         R1
 R2
trying to show off my open hands
         R1
"Hope, Unhand me!"
           R2
I finally yelped
        R1
"Let me dwell on bad news
       R2
Let me wallow in it"
        Fm                        
So came long nights and hunkering 
Gm
down
                Fm                 
And there stood Cold Mountain with 
              Gm
its trickling sound

[outro]

R1 R2 x2
                   R1               
 R2
When I reached the summit, I made no
 camp
       R1                           
   R2
But I unrolled my sleeping bag in 
the stream
                 R1         R2    R1
  *strum out*
And let the cold water pour in my 
ears
