MOUNTAIN LADY

Micah

(G)Many lonely years of the (Bm)past
Now are (C)gone and are better left be(G)hind.
In the hills 'neath the vale of the (Bm)mountain
But now and (C)then in the hills the sun would (G)shine.
(D)And it shone on (G)me, (D)and I tasted
The (C)warmth that covered the (G)mountain (C)-(G)
And it was (Em7)there that I met a (A)Lady
With the (C)grace of the high windy (G)peak.
And I (Em7)knew from her voice her heart was (A)broken,
The (C)price of a life of being (D)free(G)-(C)-(G).

So we (G)sat 'neath a tree there to(Bm)gether
And we (C)talked of the way life had (G)run.
As for me I had gambled on day(Bm)dreams
Never (C)seein' the light of the (G)sun(D)
(D)And I knew she had (G)cried,
(D)From the ways we had (C)tried to hide
From the (G)sunshine.

And I (Em7)felt in her heart the com(A)passion
As she (C)sat there and listened to (G)me
That she (Em7)knew from the words I was (A)saying
That my (C)heart was crying to be (D)free(G)-(C)-(G)

Then (G)slowly she told me a (Bm)story
Of a (C)man from the mountain where she (G)lived.
Who had (G)taught all the people of free(Bm)dom
And had (C)died to teach them how to (G)live
(D)And his words were the (G)sunlight -
(D)And his love was the (C)warmth
That fell a(G)round us(C)-(G)

So that (Em7)day I left for the (A)mountains
To (C)learn how to set my brothers (G)free.
And we'll (Em7)climb up the mountain to(A)gether
With the (C)truth, the mountain lady, and (G)me(C)-(G)
