From the album Through the Trees [INTRO] A B E [VERSE 1]
A                            B
There's a mountain north of Winnipeg

              E
buried under ice,

A                        B
and as the black clouds roll above

                         E
white pines crack like glass

A                     B
Walking under those swaying trees,

                     E
branches bowed with ice,

A                B
I wanted one to fall on me

                   E
to pin me in the snow
[CHORUS]
             G#m   A    
That silver forest 

         G#m       A
reminded me of you

          G#m    
and how I kissed you

       A                B               E
and I fell down to the bottom of a well

[VERSE 2]
A                        B
Down a dirt road west of El Paso

                  E
behind a burning barn,

A                B
I stumbled on a horse's bones

                  E
bleaching in the sand

A                           B
But when I reached down to touch the skull

               E
underneath my hand,

     A                      B
a stream of orange lizards poured out

                      E
from the bone-white mouth
[CHORUS]
            G#m   A
That empty mouth 

         G#m       A
reminded me of you

          G#m    
and how I kissed you

       A                B               E
and I fell down to the bottom of a well
