Caroline Herring - I Went For A Month
CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: G Em C D (2x)
G Em G
I went for a month into the mountains
C G Bm C
And breathed the air so fresh and clean
G Em G
I walked across the bridge to my cabin
C Em Bm C
And smiling faces waited there
G Em G
We swam and we rode upon the horses
C G Bm C
We sang and danced in one joyous wheel
G Em G
Tetherball and four-square by the fountain
C Em Bm C
And heart-sung blessings at every meal
D G
I want to live, I want to run
C G
Through these open fields
D G
Where there is hope, where there is joy
C Bm
Where the mountains yield
Em A
To our prayers and songs for peace on Earth
C
Where we nestle in our beds
Bm D
And hear the finest symphony on Earth
G Em G
I went for a month into the mountains
C G Bm C
I awoke and said, "Good morning, sun"
G Em G
And as it rose into the sky we counted
C Em Bm C
All our blessings one by one
G Em G
I acted in the plays and ran the courses
C G Bm C
And stretched my body with delight
G Em G
All a part of this great group of laughter
C Em Bm C
That stayed until we said goodnight
D G
Day is done, gone the sun
C G
From lakes, hills and skies
D G
And we stood around the fire
C Bm
Warmed by embered light
Em A
Singing songs and prayers for peace on Earth
C
Then we nestled in our beds
Bm D
And heard the finest symphony on Earth
G Em G
When my time had ended in the mountains
C G Bm C
My mother drove me down the winding roads
G Em G
Weaving through the tears and towns into the flatlands
C Em Bm C
And I wondered which I should call my home
G Em G
The world has its meanness and vainglory
C G Bm C
Sometimes I think I cannot endure
G Em G
And then I close my eyes and feel the mountains
C Em Bm C
And hold close all of my mem'ries there
D G
Where I could live, where I could run
C G
Through the open fields
D G
Where there is hope, where there is joy
C Bm
Where the mountains yield
Em A
To our prayers and songs for peace on Earth
C
Where we nestled in our beds
Bm D
And heard the finest symphony on Earth
