Chords

As recorded by J.J. Cale (From the 1996 Album GUITAR MAN) [Intro] Gm7 [Verse 1]
Gm7
Words that we say could all be lies someday

Gm7
Scattered to the wind, I don't know

               Cm7
Things that we trust could crumble into dust

   Gm7                Dm7      Gm7
No one can really say it ain't so
[Chorus]
Cm7                Gm7
When you go over a mountain

Cm7                          Gm7
When you're looking down the road

Cm7                         Gm7
When you think you're going backwards

Gm7
It's all in vain, it seems insane

         Dm7         Gm7
When you ask, nobody knows
[Verse 2]
Gm7
If our actions seem in doubt

Gm7
By the way we move about

Gm7
Seems like we're always on the run

Gm7
Our mark is just a scratch

Gm7
Like holding up a match

                      Dm7              Gm7
And trying to see the burn against the sun
[Chorus]
Cm7                Gm7
When you go over a mountain

Cm7                          Gm7
When you're looking down the road

Cm7                       Gm7
If you think you're going backwards

Gm7                          Cm7
It's all in vain, it seems insane

Gm7
When you ask, nobody knows
[Guitar Solo] Gm7 Cm7 Gm7 Cm7 Gm7 Dm7 Gm7 Cm7 Gm7 Cm7 Gm7 Cm7 Gm7 [Verse 3]
Gm7
When all our days are gone

        Cm7
You can catch us with a song

Gm7
Something that seemed almost right

Gm7
We've known love and joy

Cm7
Eternity's been our toy

Gm7
Something to play with in the night
[Chorus]
Cm7              Gm7
When we're going over a mountain

Cm7                         Gm7
When we're looking down the road

Cm7                       Gm7
If you think we're going backwards

                     Cm7
It's all in vain, it seems insane

Gm7
When you ask, nobody knows
[Piano & Guitar Solo] Gm7 Cm7 Gm7 Cm7 Gm7 Dm7 Gm7 Cm7 Gm7 Cm7 Gm7 Cm7 Gm7 Cm7 Gm7 Dm7 Gm7 Cm7 Gm7 [Out-Chorus]
Cm7        Gm7
When I go over my mountain

Cm7                       Gm7
When I'm looking down the road

Cm7                  Gm7
If I think I'm going backwards

            Cm7      Gm7
It's all in vain, it seems insane

Gm7
When I ask, nobody knows
