[INTRO:] C Gsus2 Eb/G Gsus2 [VERSE 1:]
       C      
All is well, I've made my peace where highways never end 

                        Dm            G
Yesterday's a memory, today is just a friend 

        C             F           D           G
For the mountains and Maryann are calling me again 

        C              F         C
And the red pines will bow their heads 

                   F    C
The rivers and the watersheds 

     D             G             C
Will swallow up my tears, all is well
[VERSE 2:] I left the cold mid-western towns behind
                                       Dm             G
There's a semi up the road ahead, I'll take him in my time 

        C           F                D           G
For the hot blooded mountain love is calling me again 

        C            F     C
And the vagabond within me cries

                        F       C
The wind and rain might burn my eyes 

    D                G  
But I won't feel the pain 
[CHORUS:]
        C             F   C
For the mountains and Maryann 

                       F            Gsus4   Gsus2  Eb/G  Gsus2
Will greet me there as only she can do
[VERSE 3:]
       C
All is well, as I swing up to the border bent for hell 

                                      Dm              G
And the service station man agreed, I didn't look too well 

        C             F           D              G
But the mountains and Maryann are calling out to me 

      C               F    
And I got my bed roll on my back

    C                 F     C
And everything that I could pack 

   D            G           C
To see me on my way, all is well
[VERSE 4:] I've made my peace and man I'm feeling fine
                                       Dm                     G
And the losers that I left behind I'll think about some other time 

        C               F                    D               G
For the border men were all my friends, they couldn't find a dime 

        C                F       C
And the prairie towns go sailing by

                      F           C
Saskatchewan, there's mud in your eye 

    D             G  
I'm leaving you behind 
[VERSE 5:]
            C           F                D          G
There'll be hot blooded mountain love to satisfy my soul 

        C              F         C
And the red pines will bow their heads 

                   F    C
The rivers and the watersheds 

     D         G 
Will carry us along 
[CHORUS:]
        C             F   C
For the mountains and Maryann 

                       F            Gsus4   Gsus2  Eb/G  Gsus2
Will greet me there as only she can do
[VERSE :]
       C
All is well, the foothills are coming into sight 

                            Dm          G
Today is just a memory, the future is tonight 

        C              F         C
And the red pines will bow their heads 

                   F    C
The rivers and the watersheds 

     D         G 
Will carry us along 
[CHORUS:]
        C             F   C
And the mountains and Maryann 

                       F            Gsus4   Gsus2  Eb/G  Gsus2  C
Will greet me there as only she can do
