Mountain Girl

G  C  G  C  G

[Verse 1]
           C             G         D    C
Out on the street it was raining today
         D                G     C  G
Homeless man stood in the cold
              C           G          D    C
Gave him five dollars and went on my way
         D           C     G
Big city blues in my soul


[Verse 2]
           C           G             D     C
Maybe like me that man chose to live here
                D              G      C  G
Where there are days your heart dies
         C            G          D    C
Maybe he dreamed of a place far away
          D         C     G  Em
Under the wide open skies


[Verse 3]
           Bm          C                G    Bm
Went on my way feeling strange all that day
          C             G     D  G
Wondering what had gone wrong
           C             G               D     C
Deep in my heart I could hear that voice call
            D           C      G
Haunting me all that day long


[Chorus]
             C          G     C
Mountain girl___ in the city
            Em  Am          D
You've been gone___ far too long
          C  Em             G
Find your way__ back to the mountains
          Bm  C        D
Where you know__ you belong
           C   D        G       C  G  C  G
Where your dreams can't go wrong


[Verse 4]
              C              G            D    C
I've seen the world and it's sights in my day
            D              G    C  G
Cities that blaze like the sun
            C              G          D     C
I've had my share of their riches and fame
              D                 C   G
Done things I never should have done__


[Verse 5]
Em          Bm          C           G       Bm
Been broken hearted and broken some hearts
              C            G    D  G
Tried running hard from my pain
         C               G           D
And all along that voice calls in my soul
     C           D          C     G
Come back to the mountains again


[Chorus]
             C          G     C
Mountain girl___ in the city
            Em  Am          D
You've been gone___ far too long
          C  Em             G
Find your way__ back to the mountains
          Bm  C        D
Where you know__ you belong
           C   D        G         D
Where your dreams can't go wrong


[Bridge]
                C     Em    D
Bought a ticket back again
                  C   Em   D
Heading home once more___
                 C      Em    G
Feel that aching pain recede
                    D      G
Like the waves on a shore


[Verse 6]
           C            G          D     C
I feel the heart of the mountains again
        D         G       C  G
Beating inside my breast
            C           G         D     C
Bringing me back to the place I belong
            D           C     G  Em
Bringing me home to the west


[Verse 7]
           Bm         C        G    Bm
No pain or sorrow can keep me away
         C               G      D  G
I'd even walk that last, long mile
            C               G             D       C
Here in the mountains where every sunrise starts
             D          C      G
I'll heal my heart for awhile


[Chorus]
             C          G     C

Where you know__ you belong
           C   D        G       C  G  C
Where your dreams can't go wrong
