Mountain foi uma banda de hard rock norte-americana activa no princípio dos anos 70. Fundada em 1969 pelo guitarrista Leslie West e o baixista e produtor do Cream, Felix Pappalardi.
O grupo era um trio composto de Leslie West na guitarra, Felix Pappalardi no baixo e Corky Laing na bateria, logo depois vindo a somar ao grupo Steve Knight no teclado. O vocal cru de West, a bateria fluente de Laing e as linhas de baixo pesadas de Pappalardi formavam o som distintivo do Mountain.

[Intro] AA(G#) F#mAA(G#) F#m
[Verse] AA(G#) F#mBB(A) G When the wagons leave the city for the forest and further on AA(G#) F#mBD Painted wagons of the morning, dusty roads where they have gone AA(G#) F#mBB(A) G Sometimes travellin' through the darkness, met the summer comin' home AA(G#) F#mF#m(E) DBAA(G#) Fallen faces by the wayside, looked as if they might have known
[Chorus] F#mC#mF#mC#m Oh the sun was in their eyes, and the desert was dry DAF#mBD In the country towns, where their laughter sounds
Oh the dancing and the singing and the music when they played Oh the fires that they started along the trail with no regrets Sometimes they found it, sometimes they kept it Often lost it along the way Fought each other to possess it, often blind to the light of day
