{title:Mountains O' Things}
{st:Tracy Chapman}

	[Am],---------- [Dm],---------- [F]---------- and [G].

The life I've always wanted
I guess I'll never have
I'll be working for somebody else
Until I'm in my grave
I'll be dreaming of life of ease
And mountains o' things

	To have a big expensive car
	Drag my furs on the ground
	And have a maid that I can tell
	To bring me anything
	Everyone will look at me with envy and with greed
	I'll revel in their attention
	And mountains
	Oh mountains o' things

To have
Sweet lazy life
Champagne and caviar
I hope you'll come and find me
Cause you know who we are
Those who deserve the best in life
And know what money's worth
And those whose sole misfortune
Was having mountains o' nothing at birth

	Oh they tell me
	There's still time to save my soul
	They tell me
	Renounce all
	Renounce all tose material things you gained by
	Exploiting other human beings

Consume more than you need
This is the dream
Make you pauper
Or make you queen
I won't die lonely
I'll have it all prearranged
A grave that's deep and wide enough
For me and all my mountains o' things

	Mostly I feel lonely
	Good good people are
	Good people are only
	My stepping stones
	It's gonna take all my mountains o' things
	To surround me
	Keep all my enemies away
	Keep my sadness and loneliness at bay

I'll be dreaming, dreaming, dreaming..
Dreaming...
