Saw the chorded version of this & made it better & took away the capo for those of
you who haven't gotten around to buying one yet.
& I know it's supposed to be played in Drop Db & all that, but this is to make
things a bit easier for people.
Now, I'd play this in all 5th chords (or lazy barre chords) because it sounds better that way.
Intro.
[A#m]
E|[F#]-2-2---1
G|-3--1--3
Repeat this pattern for the first verse to mimick the piano sound, improvise
around the picked notes, see what you like to play.
Verse 1:
[A#m]Took a bite out of a mountain range,
[F#]thought my teeth'd break, the mountain did.
[A#m]Let's go, I want to go,
[F#]all the way to the horizon.
[A#5]I took a drink out of the ocean and[F5]
[F#5]I'm treading water there before I drow[C#5]n.
[A#5]Let's dive, I wanna dive,[F5]
[F#5]To the bottom of the ocean.[C#5]
[G#5]I took a ride, I took a ride,
I wouldn't [A#5]go there without you.[C#5]
[G#5]Let's take a ride, we'll take a ride,
I wouldn't[A#5] leave here without you.[C5]
Chorus 1:
[C#5]I am a mountain[C5]. I[C#5] am the sea.[C5][A#5]
[A#5]You can't take that away from me.[C5]
[C#5]I am a mountain[C5]. I[C#5] am the sea.[C5][A#5]
[A#5]You can't take that away from me.[G#5]

[G#5]'Cos[A#5] you tear us ap[F#5]art
With all the [C#5]things you don[G#5]'t like.
You [A#5]can't under[F#5]stand
That[C#5] I won't l[G#5]eave,
'Til [A#5]we're finished[F#5] here,
And then you'll[G#5] find out,
[A#5]Where it all went[F#5] wrong.[C#5]
Verse 2: (Same as First Verse)
I wrote a note to the jungle and
They wrote me back that I was never crowned,
King of the jungle so,
There's an end to my horizon.
I took a ride, I took a ride,
I wouldn't go there without you.
Let's take a ride, we'll take a ride,
I wouldn't leave here without you.
Chorus 2:
[C#5]I am a mountain[C5]. I[C#5] am the sea.[C5][A#5]

Bridge:
[A#5]Nothing lasts fore[G#5]ver, [C#5]
[F#5]Except you and [C#5]me.
[G#5]You are my mount[C#5]ain,
You are my [F#5]sea.[D#5]
[A#5]Love will last fore[G#5]ver,[C#5]
[F#5]Between you an[C#5]d me.
[G#5]You are my mountain,[C#5]
[F#5]You are my sea.[C5]
Chorus 3:
[C#5]I am a mountain[C5]. I[C#5] am the sea.[C5][A#5]
[A#5]You can't take that away from me.
[C#5]I am a mountain, I [C#5]am the sea.
[C#5]I am a mountain, I am the sea.
And that is Mountains. Enjoy.
