Mountains So Grand

Drop D tuning

Dm
I have risen in the darkened valley,
The one who in my dreams
Of twilight did stand.
         Bb         A
And I am off by the moonlight,
    G            A
The break of the morning,
     Bb          A
I am leaving the mountains,
    G   A         D
The mountains so grand.

 D             G      Bb         A
I strayed to a place far from my home,
 D             G          Bb      A
In search of a lover that I might adore.
       Bb           A
And my heart it was aching,
        G         A
For the forest so gentle,
       Bb          A        G      A     D
But my longing for love was with me even more

    D        G         Bb            A
And many the comings I passed my eye over
    D        G         Bb         A
And many the moment of beauty returned.
     Bb             A
They sit with their smiles
    G                A
And eyes filled with laughter
    Bb          A
But sure in the end
     G   A    D
With myself waiting still


[Whistle Solo]

    D        G              Bb           A
But when I returned to the forest I found you in
 D         G                Bb          A
In valleys overshadowed by mountains so grand,
      Bb              A
And I pray that god's angels
     G      A
will ever protect you
      Bb           A
And I pray to keep safe
     G            A
Your little white heart.

    D        G
And now I'm stationed
          Bb              A
Where the wild waves are breaking,
D            G
Far from the forest,
Bb           A
A love and to side.
    Bb      A
But when I return,
        G          A
It will be to my dear one,
      Bb           A
In my lands in the mountain,
    G   A         D
The mountains so grand.
