[Verse]
A D/A Gmaj7 D/A
When I awoke from my dream
Bm A Gmaj7
Awakened by the darkness of the night
D/A Gmaj7 D/A
I was unprepared to be unseen
Bm A Gmaj7
I was prepared to fight
[Chorus]
Bm A
Oh the rains are bitter, the winds are strong
Gmaj7 A D/A
In the mountains of sorrow and the rivers of song
[Verse]
A D/A Gmaj7 D/A
And I was unprepared in my animal state
Bm A Gmaj7
To contemplate the cruel winds of fate
D/A Bm
And I say a prayer for those who carry on
D/A A D/A
Past the mountains of sorrow and the rivers of song
[Bridge]
Gmaj7
And I'll fade away
D/A
I'll fade away
Bm A
In a glass of corn liquor
Gmaj7
The memories of eatin'
Gm D/A
Memories of fire, and of wine
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
D/A Gmaj7 D/A
One by one, the procession passes
Bm A Gmaj7
Later in the day we'll raise our glasses
D/A Bm
To a good man, now belongs
D/A A D/A
To the mountains of sorrow and the rivers of song

[Verse]
D/A Gmaj7 D/A
And I have a cabin of solitude
Bm A Gmaj7
I built it with my own hands, it's quite crude
D/A Gmaj7 D/A
Ain't much to it, this I know
Bm A Gmaj7
But I won't leave too much behind me here when I go
[Chorus]
Bm A
I"ll be seeking my fortunes, carrying on
Gmaj7 A D/A
Past the mountains of sorrow and the rivers of song
D/A A D/A
To the mountains of sorrow and the rivers of song
D/A A D/A
Oh, these mountains of sorrow and these rivers of song
