I Never Asked To Be Your Mountain

by Tim Buckley

Biography:

Timothy Charles Buckley III (February 14, 1947 – June 29, 1975) was an experimental vocalist and performer who incorporated jazz, psychedelia, funk, soul, and avant-garde rock, in a short career spanning the late 1960s and early 1970s, ending with his death at age 28 from an alcohol-heroin overdose.

Buckley often regarded his tenor voice as an instrument, a talent most noticeable on his albums Happy Sad, Lorca, and Starsailor. His first marriage was to Mary Guibert, with whom he had a child, musician Jeff Buckley.

D
O I never asked to be your mountain
C
I never asked to fly
D
Remember when you came to me
C
And told me of his lies
D
You didn't understand my love
C
You don't know why I try
D
And the rain was falling on that day
C
And damn the reason why

D
The Flying Pisces sails for time
C
And tells me of my child
D
Wrapped in bitter tales and heartache
C
He begs for just a smile
D
O he never asked to be her mountain
C
He never asked to fly
D
And through his eye he comes his love
C
And tells her not to cry

D
She says Your scoundrel father flies
C
With a dancer called a queen
D
And with her stolen cards he plays
C
And laughs but never wins
D
O the child dreams to be his hands
C
In the counting of the rain
D
But only barren breasts he feels
C
For her milk will never drain

G F
As I die I can't remember
G F
Where I saw the rain
G
Could it be that her laughter
F
Drove me down again
G
Charming dancer will you stop
F
Stop and talk to me
G
Is there someone else you feel
F
In your dreams you will you see
G
In midnight gazes
F
I've found you far from me
G
If you lead me on
F
Please leave me down

G
O Flying Flying Fish
F
Please flutter by my door
G
Yes you can drink my lies
F
If first you read my eyes
G
Each one is titled
F
I'm drowning back to you
G
I can't swim your waters
F
And you can't walk my lands
G
I'm sailing all my sins
F
And I'm climbing all my fears
D C D C
And soon now I'll fly

D
O I never asked to be your mountain
C
I never asked to fly
D
Remember when you came to me
C
And told me of his lies
D
You didn't understand my love
C
You don't know why I try
D
And the rain was falling on that day
C
And that's the reason why

D
Sweet lover will you come back
C
And love me for a while
D
Please take my hand
C
Leave all your fears behind
D
I've been gone too long
C
Now I'm home to stay
D
Please don't leave me
C
Again this way
D C
Don't leave me again this way
D C D
Sweet lover O please
C D C D
O please O please please please come home
C
Please come home
