Tracy Chapman-Mountains O'Things
[Intro]
Am Dm Am
|/ / / / |/ / / / |/ / / / |/ / / / |/ / / / |/ / / / |
[Verse 1]
Am
The life I've always wanted I guess I'll never have
Dm
I'll be working for somebody else Until I'm in my grave
F G F Am
I'll be dreaming of a live of ease and mountains Oh mountains o' things
[Verse 2]
Am
To have a big expensive car Drag my furs on the ground
Dm
And have a maid that I can tell To bring me anything
F
Everyone will look at me with envy and with greed
G F G Am
I'll revel in their attention And mountains Oh mountains o' things
[Verse 3]
Am
Sweet lazy life Champagne and caviar
Dm
I hope you'll come and find me Cause you know who we are
F
Those who deserve the best in life And know what money's worth
G F G Am
And those whose sole misfortune Was having mountains o' nothing at birth
[Hook]
C G Am
Oh they tell me There's still time to save my soul They tell me
C G Am
Renounce all Renounce all those material things you gained by
F G Am
Exploiting other human beings
[Verse 4]
Am
Consume more than you need This is the dream
Dm
Make you pauper Or make you queen
F
I won't die lonely I'll have it all prearranged
G F G Am
A grave that's deep and wide enough For me and all my mountains o' things
[Hook]
C G Am
Oh they tell me There's still time to save my soul They tell me

[Bridge]
G F Am
Mostly I feel lonely
G F Am
Good good people are Good people are only My stepping stones
G F Am
It's gonna take all my mountains o' things To surround me
G F G F Am
Keep all my enemies away Keep my sadness and loneliness at bay
[Verse 5]
