[Intro}
G,C,D,Gm
[Verse 1]
G C D Gm
One, two, three, four, two, zero
G C D Gm
Let's do another one for the open road
G C D Gm
It's been crazy getting through last winter, but
G C D
The ocean has been such good company
Gm G C
And can you feel the earth tilting back and forth
D G
Back and forth
G G
G C D Gm
Here I sleep, parked next to the curb
G C D Gm
In Portland I cringe of growing up in the suburbs
G C D Gm
But I'll wash dishes for a quick cash binge
G C D Gm
'Til April comes and it's into the wilderness again
C
[Chorus]
G
Oh, father mountain
C D G
Show your face, where has the movement gone?
C D
For our equal race
G
Oh, father mountain
C D
Answer me
So be it
C G
Mountain, I follow thee
[Verse 2]
G C D Gm
Cosmic rays have amplified your face
G C
And been revealed to me
D Gm
In the strangest places
G C D Gm
I take it as no astrological sign
G C D Gm
And the eighth wonder has read my mind
G C
Feel the earth tilting back and forth
D Gm
Back and forth
G
G C D Gm G C
Unity and a common bond will bless this trail
D Gm
And dirt we trod upon
G C D Gm
I wake to the birds and my bitter back burns
G C
Smile like you mean it
D Gm
And it will be returned
[Chorus]
G
Oh, father mountain
C D G
Show your face, where has the movement gone?
C D
For our equal race
G
Oh, father mountain
C D
Answer me
So be it
C G
Mountain, I follow thee
[Solo]
[Bridge]
Aho man, what kind of power’s in me?
Aho man, can you see it churning?
Aho man, what kind of fire’s in me
Aho man, can you see it burning?
C D Gm G
Aho man, I got some power in me
C D G
Aho man, can you see it churning?
C D Gm G
Aho man, I got some fire in me
C D G [N.C.]
Aho man, can you see it burning?
