Flatlanders - Keeper Of The Mountain Chords

_ _ _ _ _ _ _
I remember you _ _ [A] _
a [E]-tellin' me
_ [G#m] _ _
Don't [C#m] clutch a rose, _ [A] _ _
don't [B] mourn the _ sunset _ _
And [E] I suppose if [A] I hear the [E] river moanin'
_ [A] It's just the way [E] I'm feelin'
[A] The river's not [E] _ _ complainin'
[A] Oh no, oh no, [E] no, no _ _ _
And the very next day _ [A] we _ woke [E] before the dawn
[G#m] We found [C#m] our way _ [A] by the [F#m] ramblin' river
_ [B] And we had [E] no dream, _ _ [A] _ _
we [E] just lived one
[A] I the keeper [E] of the mountain, [A] _ you the mornin' [E] _ flower
[A] Uh huh, [F#m] uh huh, [E] uh huh
_ There _ _ was [F#m] no _ reason [B] to go, and [E] I never claimed [A] to know
[E] And _ these, [A] _ _
these [E] ain't teardrops
_ [A] _
That [E] ain't the river
[A] _ _
It's [E] just a _ moanin'
[A] The _ river's not [E] _ complainin'
[A] Oh no, oh no, [E] no, no _ _
When I spoke big words, _ [A] _
you just let [E] them fly away
[G#m] _
Blue paper [C#m] _ birds _ [A] _
on a [B] summer's day
_ And I took [E] you by the hand, [A] knew that you [E] would understand
[A] _ I the keeper [E] of the mountain, [A] _ you the mornin' [E] _ flower
[A] Uh huh, uh huh, [E] uh huh
_ _ There _ was [F#m] no reason [B] to go, and [E] I never [A] claimed to know
And [E] these, _ [A] _ _
these ain't [E] _ teardrops
[A] _ That ain't [E] the river
[A] _ _
It's just [E] a moanin'
[A] The river's not [E] _ complainin'
Oh [A] no, oh no, no, [E] no _ _ _ _
