Capercaillie - The Crooked Mountain
CAPO: 2nd Fret
[Intro]
C Dm7 C F
C Am F C Am F C G Am Em
[Verse 1]
Am G
The woman who read my palm today
F C
Was a friend of the pessimistic
Dm7 Em
In a square at the edge of town
F C
Was my fortune laid to bear
[Verse 2]
Am G
She said, "Climb that rocky mountain
F C
Where the sun will rise to kiss you
Dm7 Em
And your dreams will flow like a virgin spring
F C Dm7
To the foot of the crooked hill"
[Chorus]
Am Dm7
Feels good to be dreaming
C Dm7
Feels good to be here with you
Am G
Wait now, the mist will clear
Wait now, the day will come
C Em Am F
I'm caught in the rain again
C Em Am F
I was caught on a snowbound highway
C Em Am F
I was caught in the rain again
C Am F
On top of the crooked mountain
C Am F Dm7 C Am Em
On top of the crooked mountain
[Verse 3]
Am G
Like a fool, I took to the woman's words
F C
Being a slave of the optimistic
Dm7 Em
I left my friends of childhood
F C
And the ones who saw me right
[Verse 4]
Am G
Funny, you don't see the sunset
F C
And you wonder why you missed it
Dm7 Em
For a year I saw the skies change
F C Bb
'Til all the day was night and ooh
[Chorus]
Am Bb
Feels good to be dreaming
C Bb
Feels good to be here with you
Am G
Wait now, the mist will clear
Wait now, the day will come
C Em Am F
I'm caught in the rain again
C Em Am F
I was caught on a snowbound highway
C Em Am F
I was caught in the rain again
C Am F
On top of the crooked mountain
C Am F Am
On top of the crooked mountain
[Bridge]
Em Am
Feels good to be dreaming
G Am
Feels good to be here with you
C
Feels good to be here

Feels good to be dreaming

Feels good to be here with you

To be here
[Instrumental]
C G Am Em (4x)
[Verse 5]
Am G
With the evening shadows falling
F C
On the day I'm supposed to find you
Dm7 Em
Chances are I'll never realize
Am
The picture from this jigsaw
F
That I always took for granted
Dm7 Em
Now I'm caught here in a raging storm
C Dm7
On top of the crooked hill
[Chorus]
Am Dm7
Feels good to be dreaming
C Dm7
Feels good to be here with you
Am G
Wait now, the mist will clear
Wait now, the day will come
C Em Am F
I'm caught in the rain again
C Em Am F
I was caught on a snowbound highway
C Em Am F
I was caught in the rain again
C Am F
On top of the crooked mountain
C
On top
[Outro]
