[A]
[Em] [A]
[D] I'm not [A] smart enough for [Bm] this life [A] I've been living
[G] A little [D] bit slow [Em] for the pace [A] of the game
[Bm] It's not [F#m] I'm ungrateful [D] for all [D] I've been given
[Em] But [A] nevertheless, it's [G] the same
[D] My wish to [C#] my soul, I [Bm] was back in [A] Montana
[G] High on [D] my mountain [Em] and deep in [A] the snow
[Bm] Up in [F#m] my cabin, [G] over [D] the valley
[Em] Under [A] the blankets [D] with you
[C#]
[Bm] [G] Over
[Em] [A] the ocean [Bm] from here
[E]
[A]
[B] Over [G]
[Em] the [A] mountains [Bm] from there
[E]
[D] Who can [C#] imagine [Bm] the scale [D] of the forces
That [G] push this [D] old mountain [Em] range up in [A] the sky
[Bm] Tectonic [F#m] regation,
[G] erosion, [D] mutation
[Em] Something [A] to pleasure
[G] God's [A] eye
The world [C#m] is a wonder [Bm] of lightning [D] and thunder
[G] And green of [D] the ground as [Em] we fall from [A] the sky
[Bm] The old and [D] new faces, [G] the tribes and [D] the races
[Em] Thousands [A] of places [D] to try
[C#m]
[Bm] [G] Over
[Em] [A] the ocean [Bm] from here
[Em]
[E] Over [F#]
[Bm] [G]
[Em] [A] the mountains [Bm] from there
[Em]
[E] [A]
[D] One sits [G] and waits while [E] the other one [A] wanders
[Bm] And squanders [E] his time [Em] with the life on [A] the road
[D] Down from [G] the mountain,
[E] across the [A] wide ocean
[F#] The world is [Bm] in motion [C] and cannot [A] be slowed
[D] Enough for [F#m] today, [Bm] the demands of [D] the moment
[G] The thing on [D] my mind [Em] is the work in [A] my hand
[Bm] Wood for [D] the wood stove [G] and water [D] for coffee
[Em] Something I can [A] still
[G] understand
[A] We
[D] got a few [C#] friends, [Bm] but not [A] many neighbors
[G] The trip into [D] town takes [Em] us most of [A] the day
[Bm] And after hello, [G] and it's sure good [D] to see you
[Em] It seems like [A] there's nothing [D] to say
[A]
[Bm] [D] Over
[G] [A] the ocean from here
