verse 1: 
       C       
All is well, I've made my peace where highways never end  
                        Dm            G 
Yesterday's a memory, today is just a friend  
        C             F           D           G 
For the mountains and Maryann are calling me again  
        C              F         C 
And the red pines will bow their heads  
                   F    C 
The rivers and the watersheds  
     D             G             C 
Will swallow up my tears, all is well 


verse 2: 

I left the cold mid-western towns behind  
                                       Dm             G 
There's a semi up the road ahead, I'll take him in my time  
        C           F                D           G 
For the hot blooded mountain love is calling me again  
        C            F     C 
And the vagabond within me cries 
                        F       C 
The wind and rain might burn my eyes  
    D                G   
But I won't feel the pain  

 
        C             F   C 
For the mountains and Maryann  
                       F            Gsus4   Gsus2  Eb/G  Gsus2 
Will greet me there as only she can do 


verse 3: 
       C 
All is well, as I swing up to the border bent for hell  
                                      Dm              G 
And the service station man agreed, I didn't look too well  
        C             F           D              G 
But the mountains and Maryann are calling out to me  
      C               F     
And I got my bed roll on my back 
    C                 F     C 
And everything that I could pack  
   D            G           C 
To see me on my way, all is well 


verse 4: 

I've made my peace and man I'm feeling fine  
                                       Dm                     G 
And the losers that I left behind I'll think about some other time  
        C               F                    D               G 
For the border men were all my friends, they couldn't find a dime  
        C                F       C 
And the prairie towns go sailing by 
                      F           C 
Saskatchewan, there's mud in your eye  
    D             G   
I'm leaving you behind  


VERSE 5: 
            C           F                D          G 
There'll be hot blooded mountain love to satisfy my soul  
        C              F         C 
And the red pines will bow their heads  
                   F    C 
The rivers and the watersheds  
     D         G  
Will carry us along  


        C             F   C 
For the mountains and Maryann  
                       F            Gsus4   Gsus2  Eb/G  Gsus2 
Will greet me there as only she can do 


VERSE 6: 
       C 
All is well, the foothills are coming into sight  
                            Dm          G 
Today is just a memory, the future is tonight  
        C              F         C 
And the red pines will bow their heads  
                   F    C 
The rivers and the watersheds  
     D         G  
Will carry us along  

 
        C             F   C 
And the mountains and Maryann  
                       F            Gsus4   Gsus2  Eb/G  Gsus2  C 
Will greet me there as only she can do
