Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Saw the chorded version of this & made it better & took away the capo for those of you who haven't gotten around to buying one yet. & I know it's supposed to be played in Drop Db & all that, but this is to make things a bit easier for people. Now, I'd play this in all 5th chords [or lazy barre chords] because it sounds better that way.
Repeat this pattern for the first verse to mimick the piano sound, improvise around the picked notes, see what you like to play.
Verse 1: A#m Took a bite out of a mountain range, F# thought my teeth'd break, the mountain did. A#m Let's go, I want to go, F# all the way to the horizon.
A#5F5 I took a drink out of the ocean and F#5C#5 I'm treading water there before I drown. A#5F5 Let's dive, I wanna dive, F#5C#5 To the bottom of the ocean.
G#5 I took a ride, I took a ride, A#5C#5 I wouldn't go there without you. G#5 Let's take a ride, we'll take a ride, A#5C5 I wouldn't leave here without you.
Chorus 1: C#5C5C#5C5A#5 I am a mountain. I am the sea. A#5C5 You can't take that away from me. C#5C5C#5C5A#5 I am a mountain. I am the sea. A#5G#5 You can't take that away from me.
G#5A#5F#5 'Cos you tear us apart C#5G#5 With all the things you don't like. A#5F#5 You can't understand C#5G#5 That I won't leave, A#5F#5 'Til we're finished here, G#5 And then you'll find out, A#5F#5C#5 Where it all went wrong.
Verse 2: [Same as First Verse]
I wrote a note to the jungle and They wrote me back that I was never crowned, King of the jungle so, There's an end to my horizon.
I took a ride, I took a ride, I wouldn't go there without you. Let's take a ride, we'll take a ride, I wouldn't leave here without you.
Chorus 2: C#5C5C#5C5A#5 I am a mountain. I am the sea. A#5C5 You can't take that away from me. C#5C5C#5C5 I am a mountain. I am the sea.
G#5A#5F#5 'Cos you tear us apart C#5G#5 With all the things you don't like. A#5F#5 You can't understand C#5G#5 That I won't leave, A#5F#5 'Til we're finished here, G#5 And then you'll find out, A#5F#5 Where it all went wrong.

Bridge: A#5G#5C#5 Nothing lasts forever, F#5C#5 Except you and me. G#5C#5 You are my mountain, F#5D#5 You are my sea. A#5G#5C#5 Love will last forever, F#5C#5 Between you and me. G#5C#5 You are my mountain, F#5C5 You are my sea.
