I've made my peace where high ways never end

                        Bsus4         B
Yesterday's a memory to day is just a friend

        E             A           F#           B
For the mountains and Maryann are calling me a gain

        E              A         E
And the red pines will bow their heads

    E              A     E          F#            B
The rivers and the water sheds will swallow up my tears

       E
All is well

  Emaj7             E6               E
I left the cold mid western towns be hind

                                      Bsus4          B
There's a semi up the road ahead I'll take him in my time

        E           A        E/G#    F#           B
For the hot-blooded mountain love is calling me a gain

        E             A     E
And the vagabond with in me cries

    E                   A       E        F#               B
The wind and rain might burn my eyes but I won't feel the pain

        E             A    E                          A
For the mountains and Mary ann will greet me there as only she can

 *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *

      Emaj7               E6           E
 As I swing up to the bor der bent for hell

                        Emaj7        Bsus4           B     B+5
And the service station man agreed I didn't look too well

        E             A    E/G#    F#             B    B7
But the mountains and Mary ann are calling out to me

      E              A     E
And I got my bedroll on my back

    E               A       E       F#           B
And everything that I could pack to see me on my way

       E   E6
All is well

     Emaj7             E
I've made my peace and man, I'm feelin' fine

                                       Bsus4            B
And the losers that I left behind I'll think about some other time

          E               A      E            F#              B
 eFor the border men were all my friends they couldn't find a dime

        E                A       E
And the prairie towns go sailing by

                     A           E       F#             B
Saskatchewan there's mud in your eye I'm leavin' you be hind

            E           A        E       F#         B
There'll be hot-blooded mountain love to satisfy my soul

        E              A         E
And the red pines will bow their heads

    E              A     E          F#         B
The rivers and the water sheds will carry us a long

        E             A    E        E                 A
And the mountains and Mary ann will greet me there as only she can
