Intro: Em D  C  Em   

      G                        D 
I was born in a forked-tongued story 
Em           D                       Am     Em 
Raised up by merchants and drugstore liars 
      G                    D 
Now I walk on the paths of glory 
Em          D              Em   G C 
One foot in ice and one in fire 


 
          D        C             D       Em  D  C  Em  C 
I see the mountain, the mountain come to me 
          D       C            D      Em  D  C  Em  C 
I see the mountain and that is all I see 


          G                        D 
Some poor prophet comes, some find solace 
Em           D                  Am   Em 
Some lay him down in a junkyard bay 
          G                      D 
Some will chase us and some will call us 
Em          D         Em  G C 
Gone, gone, gone in a day 


 
            D        C             D       Em  D  C  Em  C 
Gone to the mountain, the mountain come to me 
          D       C            D      Em  D  C  Em  C 
I see the mountain and that is all I see
