Daniel Johnston (born Daniel Dale Johnston in Sacramento, CA, on 22 January 1961; died in Waller, TX, on 10 September 2019) was an American singer-songwriter and visual artist regarded as a significant figure in outsider, lo-fi, and alternative music scenes. Most of his work consisted of cassettes recorded alone in his home, and his music was frequently cited for its "pure" and "childlike" qualities. His music has been acclaimed by many artists including David Bowie, Sonic Youth, and Simpsons creator Matt Groening.

Tuning: Standard
Great song off the Fear Yourself album. The chord progression is really simple, it just reverses every two lines. Enjoy.
GCAmD On top of a mountain top I stood and thought one day GCAmD I really could see a lot and if I had my way DAmCG A lazy young sod, I was so deep in love those days DAmCG As if there was nothing left, but only love I crave GCAmD And so I didn't know as much, her loving touch amazed GCAmD I was so gone with love the alphabet was a haze DAmCG So alone as she pulls away the funeral truck, I cried DAmCG I watched the clouds dissapear like a lost christmas that day GCAmD And now I can't seem to cope but only hope it be okay GCAmD If I could just see her again and we could be friends like way back when DAmCD It's as if I'm already dead and in my grave I lay DAmCD If only her love could save me now, and if somehow she'd stay...
