  			G 
Sundogs barkin', barkin' round my dreams 
G 
Three ring circus rockin' round the sun 
G 
The taste of fire and Julia's name 
G 
Right there on the tip of my tongue 

G            C 
I was on the mountain 
C                     G 
And the sun was goin' down 
                        Am C Am  C  G 
All I's wishin' for was Ju-u-u-u-u-lia 
 
 
I kissed her on the mouth, I looked her in the eye 
I's actin' half my age and feelin' way too proud 
I drove into the desert, I drove up to the sky 
I parked it and I left it just a hangin' on a cloud 
 
 
Chorus 
 
 
Bridge: 
D          Am 
Night wind blows 
D               G 
Stars above the blue 
D      Am 
Heaven knows 
D              G   
Only love will do 
 
 
Accordian solo 
 
 
Now what's a few miles between the beauty and the beast 
What's it mean when angels keep flying by above 
Storm clouds gatherin' round the full moon in the east 
I was empty-headed but my heart was full of love 
 
 
Chorus 2: 
I was on the mountain 
With lightning all around 
All I was lookin’ for Ju-u-u-u-u-lia 
 
 
The more you need her help the more she let's you down 
The more you like the way she walks the more she shakes her hips 
The more you fall in love with life the more she runs around 
The more you fear the kiss of death the more she licks her lips 
 
 
Chorus 3: 
I was on the mountain 
There was thunder tumblin' down 
All I's listenin' for was Julia 
 
 
Bridge 
 
 
Chorus 4: 
I was on the mountain 
I was never comin' down 
All I's thinkin' bout was Julia 
 
All I's thinkin' bout was Julia
