From his From the Top of Willamette Mountain album. You can play it in standard tuning with the chords, but the ringing D bass note is quite prominent on the recording. Avoid playing the high e string. D: 000230 G: 5X0030 D/F#: 4X0030 Bm: X24432 A: X02220

D
There is a mystic in the mountain, high above the great salt lake

Dancing in the heavens, far below his golden gates

     G                     D     G                    D
He's looking at our cars below, laughing at our rock and roll

D
So I found a little woman, thought that I could change her name

She had the colour of the city and the fire of the country flame

    G                 D        G                      Bm A  D                
So I hid my body down below, hoping that my skin wont show

G-D/F#-D

 D
Mystic from the mountain, in the end what did you say wed find

A promise from a pamphlet, a crucifixion on your highway sign

        G             D             G                           Bm A                   
But I sold you for a cigarette, does it make you want to love me less

        Bm      G           A         D
And if I dont believe. What does that mean?

     Bm          G          A         D 
And when I die alone, who will eat my soul

       G       D               G      D
In the cave of God, while the angels watch

            G       D    Bm A  D
Theres a manic scream, hallelujah

Babe I know I lost you, moment you could finally see The part of me Id hidden, far below our leather seats If I could make you understand the empty that I tried fill Id crucify my body, leave the pieces at your mystics heels But I sold you for a cigarette I hope youd sell me off for less And if we dont agree What does that leave And when you die alone I will eat your soul In the cave of God While the angels watch Theres a manic scream hallelujah Tabbed by Floor Demon
