Capo 4, play C


C                 G             Am    
In the rainforest West of the Rockies
      F             G7            C                               
By the isles in the bright Salish sea.
   C            G               Am                               
Live friends I have known since I was a child
      F            G7          C                               
they travelled the trails with me.
                              
               G               Am    
A lifetime has passed since we dwelt on the mountain,   
  F                G7              C     
I recall when she lived there with me. 
                      G              Am        
I won't mention her isle, I won't  mention her name.
      F         G7       C                              
Some lovers are forever free. 

        F     G7               C      C7                               
And the Mtn’s slide down to the ocean. 
  F            G7        C                               
Glaciers shine way up on high.
F              G7               C           Am                       
Streams tumble down through the forests and run. {P}
   F             G7          C                               
To return to the wild Salish Sea.

                   G            Am    
Her eyes were as bright as the shine on the dew
     F                 G7        C     
Her hair, long, soft, silky and fine
                   G            Am        
With a hint of the fragrance of rainforest pine
         F          G7        C                              
And her body would melt into mine.

        F     G7               C      C7                
Where the Mtn’s glide down to the ocean. 
  F            G7              C                        
And the eagles soar way up on high.
F              G7               C           Am         
The mists and the rain kiss the forest of green. {P}
    F             G7              C            
As they drift to the wild Salish Sea.

Bridge
E                       F
Some say I had too many mushrooms.
E                            F
That the grass has addled my brain.
        C            F
No matter say I as I dream in my mind. 
    C        G7         C
I wish I was young once again.

          F     G7               C      C7                
Where the Mtn’s glide down to the ocean. 
  F            G7              C                        
And the eagles soar way up on high.
F              G7               C           Am                           
Streams tumble down through the forests and run.   {P}
          F        G7              C             
In those memories that live in my mind. 

Break

C               G               Am    
A lifetime has passed since we dwelt on the mountain,   
  F                G7              C     
I recall when she lived there with me. 
                 G              Am       
A gift from her heart, Though someday we'd part
   F            G7      C                              
Some lovers are forever free.
F                G7      C                              
Some lovers are forever free.
