Biography:
Capercaillie is a folk band founded in Oban, Scotland in the 1980s by Donald Shaw and fronted by Karen Matheson. They recorded their first album, Cascade, in 1984. Their 1992 EP Coisich, a Rùin was the first ever Scottish Gaelic language record to reach the UK Top 40 singles chart. They have also pioneered the integration of divergent styles, including some electronics and African rhythms, into their music, though it is still primarily Scottish folk music.

Capercaillie - The Crooked Mountain
CAPO: 2nd Fret
[Intro]
C Dm7 C F
C Am F C Am F C G Am Em
[Verse 1]
Am G
The woman who read my palm today
F C
Was a friend of the pessimistic
Dm7 Em
In a square at the edge of town
F C
Was my fortune laid to bear
[Verse 2]
Am G
She said, "Climb that rocky mountain
F C
Where the sun will rise to kiss you
Dm7 Em
And your dreams will flow like a virgin spring
F C Dm7
To the foot of the crooked hill"
[Chorus]
Am Dm7
Feels good to be dreaming
C Dm7
Feels good to be here with you
Am G
Wait now, the mist will clear
Wait now, the day will come
C Em Am F
I'm caught in the rain again
C Em Am F
I was caught on a snowbound highway
C Em Am F
I was caught in the rain again
C Am F
On top of the crooked mountain
C Am F Dm7 C Am Em
On top of the crooked mountain
[Verse 3]
Am G
Like a fool, I took to the woman's words
F C
Being a slave of the optimistic
Dm7 Em
I left my friends of childhood
F C
And the ones who saw me right
[Verse 4]
Am G
Funny, you don't see the sunset
F C
And you wonder why you missed it
Dm7 Em
For a year I saw the skies change
F C Bb
'Til all the day was night and ooh
[Chorus]
Am Bb
Feels good to be dreaming
C Bb
Feels good to be here with you
Am G
Wait now, the mist will clear
Wait now, the day will come
C Em Am F
I'm caught in the rain again
C Em Am F
I was caught on a snowbound highway
C Em Am F
I was caught in the rain again
C Am F
On top of the crooked mountain
C Am F Am
On top of the crooked mountain

[Instrumental]
C G Am Em (4x)
[Verse 5]
Am G
With the evening shadows falling
F C
On the day I'm supposed to find you
Dm7 Em
Chances are I'll never realize
Am
The picture from this jigsaw
F
That I always took for granted
Dm7 Em
Now I'm caught here in a raging storm
C Dm7
On top of the crooked hill
[Chorus]
Am Dm7
Feels good to be dreaming
C Dm7
Feels good to be here with you
Am G
Wait now, the mist will clear
Wait now, the day will come
C Em Am F
I'm caught in the rain again
C Em Am F
I was caught on a snowbound highway

I was caught in the rain again

On top of the crooked mountain
