Kasey Chambers - This Mountain

From "Barricades & Brickwalls" (2002)
(Kasey Chambers)

Capo: 3rd Fret

INTRO:  [G]

Well a [G]wise man once said to me 
If your heart don’t break you won't be [Em] free
[C]But I’m as free as a [D]bird 
[C]Flying out o[D]ver
[C]flying out o[D]ver the sea [G]

[G]I call out to the wind 
But no one comes to let me [Em] in
[C]I hear the [D]thunder 
The [C]weight on my [D]shoulders
The [C]weight upon my [D]shoulders crushing [G]me

CHORUS:
[F] Shine [C]down on this [G] mountain 
[F] Rain [C]down on my [G] face 
[F] Call [C]out to the [G]river 
To wash [D] me out 
To wash [C] me out of this [G] place

Well I [G]wish that I was a sailor man 
With the wheel of the ship held in my [Em] hand
[C]I don’t like the [D]water
[C]I’m more like the [D]anchor
I [C]wish I was the [D]anchor in me [G]

Some[G]times I wish I was a sin 
So the ones I love wouldn’t let me [Em] in
[C]I wouldn’t have to [D]try 
[C] To find the ans[D]wers 
To [C]give them all the ans[D]wers they need [G]

CHORUS

INSTRUMENTAL: [F]  [C]  [G]  (x3)
              [D]       [C]       [G]

Well a [G]wise man once said to me 
If your heart don’t break you won't be [Em] free
[C]But I’m as free as a [D]bird 
[C]Flying out o[D]ver
[C]flying out o[D]ver the sea [G]
