Mountains

             Ab
I was just a boy
                   Fm
My father seemed a mountain then
       Cm                         
With a voice that could shake the 
Db
seas
            Ab                   
My mother's ghost hung across his 
  Fm
shoulders
       C                           
And he said she was still watching 
     Db
over me

               Ab
My brother was home
                 Fm
Just returned on army leave
         Cm                    
Told his stories with a distant 
  Db
stare
          Ab

                     Fm

trees

      C                   Db      
And I spent my night just 
          Ab
listening by the fire

   Cm                             
My hands move the creases from my 
Db
brow
          Ab
Soft as a breath
            Eb
It's like a feather
  Cm                             
I dreamed of a lonely voice that 
Db
night
         Ab
Quiet as death
           Eb
Outside my window
          Cm             Db
It sang a sad and lovely tune
           Ab
Clear as a bell
          Eb
Soft as a shiver
         Cm                 Db
It said, I want you all the time
   Dbm                       Ab
It said, I want you all the time

Goodbye bad thoughts
                 Ab         Cm
I'm safe under covers
               Ab           Cm
So goodbye bad thoughts
                      Ab    Cm
'Cause I'm safe under covers
                  Ab
Now I can see you again
