Chords for The Roches - The Mountain People - 10/21/1978 - Capitol Theatre (Official)

[A] _ [G] This next song is about a person from New Jersey who is accepted to [N] a school in the mountains.
And it is about the discrepancy of the lifestyles. _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ [Am] _ _ _ _
_ I'm in a [Gm] hollow [F] box, New Jersey. _
[G] Let me put it down.
I gotta catch this ride while [C] it's [Em] free.
[D] _
[E] I'm [Am] accepted to [D] a [A] school [D] in the mountains.
_ [G] But I fail the [Dm] mountain people.
[F] _ [Em] Surely I [Am] fail the [G] [C] mountain people.
_ _ See, it is I'm here, I'll make the [F] whole thing clear to y'all.
_ _ [G] In the corridors and in the [C] cafeteria.
[Em] _ _ [E] _ _ [Am] Nobody [A] wants to be the [D] canvas decay.
_ [Am] Serving it up [G] high, I've been hot for [D] the mountain [F] people.
_ [Em] I've been all the last years, [Am] it's to [G] the [C] mountain people.
_ [Em] _ [Am] _ The [Em] mountain people hate _ _ [F] _ _ [G] _
[C] me. Stay strong.
[Em] I'm [Am] _ [B] _ [A] _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
just a man.
_ [Em] _ [C] _ It's spending my [F] Jersey.
[G] Stuck in on my heart.
And I surely ain't got my [C] mama [Em] on me.
[E] _ _ [Am] _ _
_ [D] That's a mess to pray.
But [C] where do I _
[G] fly at [F] heartbreak?
[Em] Where do I [Am] fly _ [G] [C] at [F] heartbreak?
Where do [Em] I fly [Am] _ [G] at [Am] [C] heartbreak?
_ [C] _ _ _ _ [N] _ _ _ _ _ _
