[Intro] C/G Fmaj7 C/G [Verse]
     G  C/G  Fmaj7   C/G
When I awoke from my dream

Am              G               Fmaj7
Awakened by the darkness of the night

           C/G     Fmaj7 C/G
I was unprepared to be unseen

Am       G        Fmaj7
I was prepared to fight
[Chorus]
                 Am                    G
Oh the rains are bitter, the winds are strong

        Fmaj7                       G        C/G
In the mountains of sorrow and the rivers of song
[Verse]
           G    C/G        Fmaj7   C/G
And I was unprepared in my animal state

    Am              G             Fmaj7
To contemplate the cruel winds of fate

             C/G                      Am
And I say a prayer for those who carry on

          C/G                         G        C/G
Past the mountains of sorrow and the rivers of song
[Bridge]
           Fmaj7
And I'll fade away

          C/G
I'll fade away

      Am       G
In a glass of corn liquor

     Fmaj7
The memories of eatin'

 Fm                      C/G
Memories of fire, and of wine
[Instrumental] | Fmaj7 | Fmaj7 | C/G Am | | G | Fmaj7 | Fm | [Verse]
       C/G        Fmaj7     C/G
One by one, the procession passes

 Am           G                   Fmaj7
Later in the day we'll raise our glasses

          C/G         Am
To a good man, now belongs

        C/G                         G        C/G
To the mountains of sorrow and the rivers of song
[Instrumental] | C/G Fmaj7 | C/G | Am G | Fmaj7 | | C/G | Am | C/G G C/G | C/G | [Verse]
              C/G    Fmaj7 C/G
And I have a cabin of solitude

   Am               G                 Fmaj7
I built it with my own hands, it's quite crude

           C/G    Fmaj7  C/G
Ain't much to it, this I know

      Am                    G             Fmaj7
But I won't leave too much behind me here when I go
[Chorus]
                    Am                G
I"ll be seeking my fortunes, carrying on

          Fmaj7                       G        C/G
Past the mountains of sorrow and the rivers of song

        C/G                         G        C/G
To the mountains of sorrow and the rivers of song

           C/G                           G        C/G
Oh, these mountains of sorrow and these rivers of song
