Blue Mountain is a band formed in 1991 in Oxford, Mississippi (USA) by husband and wife duo Cary Hudson (guitar and vocals) and Laurie Stirratt (bass and harmony vocals),who is notably the twin sister of John Stirratt, the bass player for the like-minded Americana band Wilco. After the dissolution of their former Los Angeles band, The Hilltops, the couple relocated to Oxford and, joined by drummer Matt Brennan, began gigging and recording roots rock.

Song: Mountain Girl Artist: Blue Mountain Album: Dog Days Tabbed by: Julie Moffitt
I noticed there aren't any Blue Mountain songs are on OLGA so I thought I would put one up and see if someone else out there has any. I read somewhere that this is really played in DGDGAD tuning but I worked this out in standard tuning. Let me know what you think!
I don't know what chords exactly these are named so I'm just naming them G(1), G(2) and G(3) If you use your pinky on the high G it is pretty easy. Listen to the song to get the rhythm right. There's more to this that needs to be tabbed out maybe someone can use this for a starting point. G1 G2G3 e 3 3 3 B 0 0 3 G 0 2 0 D 0 0 0 A x x x E 3 3 3
Intro:
G(1) G(2)G(3)EmDAm }2X
Verse 1: G Does anyone remember Em Does anybody care D The days we danced together Am With feathers in our hair G Rivers ran together Em To sing a crystal tune D Stones skipped on the water Am Circles around the moon Chorus: EmBm Oooh hey yea yea Em When the full moon shines Am The mountain pines are swaying EmBm Oooh yeah yea Em Close your eyes and listen Am To the guitars playing
G(like intro) EmDAm }2X
Verse 2: (same chords as Verse 1) Built a box together, filled it full of songs and buried it on the mountain beneath a pile of bones Then we said goodbye forever, to the hell that was our home and set out across the flatlands, for 40 years to roam
