DEmA7
I'm not smart enough for this life I've been livin',
GEmA
A little bit slow for the pace of the dream.
BmG
It's not I'm ungrateful for all I've been given;
EmAD
But nevertheless, just the same...
Verse 2
DEmA7
I wish to my soul, I was back in Mon-tana,
GEmA
High on my mountain and deep in the snow.
BmG
Up in my cabin, over the valley,
EmAD
Under the blankets with you.
Chorus
BmGADA
O-------- O---- ver the ocean from here. (Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh)
BmGADA
O-------- O---- ver the mountains from there. (Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh)
Verse 3
DEmA7
Who can imagine the scale of the forces
GEmA
That pushed this old mountain range up in the sky?
BmG
Tec-tonic creation, e-rosion, mutation;
EmAD
Somethin' to pleasure God's eye.
Verse 4
DEmA7
The world is a wonder of lightnin' and thunder,
GEmA
And green of the ground as we fall from the sky.
BmG
The old and new faces, the tribes and the races...
EmAD
Thousands of places to try.
Chorus
BmGADA
O-------- O---- ver the ocean from here. (Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh)
BmGADA
O-------- O---- ver the mountains from there. (Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh)
Bridge
DEmABm
One sits and waits while the other one wanders,
GEmA
And squanders his time with a life on the road.
BmG
Down from the mountain, a-cross the wide ocean,
BmAD
The world is in motion and cannot be slowed.
Verse 5
DEmA7
Enough for today... the de-mands of the moment,
GEmA
The thing on my mind is the work in my hand.
BmG
Wood for the woodstove and water for coffee,
EmAD
Somethin' I can still under-stand.
Verse 6
DEmA7
We got a few friends but not many neighbors,
GEmA
The trip into town takes us most of the day.
BmG
And after,"Hello", and "it's sure good to see you",
EmAD
It seems like there's nothin' to say.
Outro
BmGAD
O-------- O---- ver the ocean from here.
