At midnight the sound of the stockyard trains

Wail in the distance and rattle my chains
Bb Ebmaj7 Bb Ebmaj7
Save me a valley like the one in the distance

I wanna stand outside and feel the rain when it falls

Breathe the air on the other side of these walls

Save a mountain for me
Bb Ebmaj7 Bb Ebmaj7
Save a mountain for me

It sounds like a choir when the chaingangs shout

Save me a mountain for when I get out
Bb Ebmaj7 Bb Ebmaj7
Save me a desert, just me and the sand
Bb Ebmaj7 Bb Ebmaj7
Save me a sea to sail

In my heart I know I'm too weak to be strong
Cm F
I've been wasting away in this jail for too long
Bb Ebmaj7 Bb Ebmaj7
Save a mountain for me

Save a mountain for me

Save me a mountain for when I get o-u-t

"Has the jury reached a verdict?"
Ab Bb Eb
"We have your honour."
"How does the jury find?"
Ab Bb
"We find the defendant guilty."
Db Eb
"Do the defendants have anything to say on their behalf,
Ab Bb Eb (builds)
Before the court pronounces sentence?"
Bb Ebmaj7 Bb Ebmaj7
Save me a mountain to climb
Bb Ebmaj7 Bb Ebmaj7
Save me a river to cross
Cm F
At midnight the sound of the stockyard trains

Still wail in the distance and rattle my brains
Bb Ebmaj7 Bb Ebmaj7
Save me a valley like the one in the distance
Bb Ebmaj7 Bb Ebmaj7
Save me a canyon to swallow this jail

If only I could tie all these dreams together

I could break out of the big house and run forever

Save a mountain for me

Oh save a mountain for me

It's like a choir of fallen angels when the chaingangs shout

Save me a mountain for when I get out
Bb Ebmaj7 Bb Ebmaj7
Save a mountain for me Save it, save it
Bb Ebmaj7 Bb Ebmaj7
Save a mountain for me
Cm Bb
It sounds like a choir when the chaingangs shout
Cm F [Bb Ebmaj7] repeat to fade
S-A-v-E A mountain for me
Save a mountain for when I get out
I need a mountain
Save a mountain.......
