Remember The Mountain Bed

Key: DCapo 3Medium

DDo you still sing of the Amountain bed we Gmade of limbs and leaves?

Do you still sigh there near the sky where the Dholly berry Ableeds?

You Bmlaughed as I covered youG over with leaves

FEmace, breast, hips and Gthighs

DYou smiled when I said the Cleaves were Emjust the Gcolor of your Deyes

DRosin smells and turpentiAne smells from eGucalyptus and pine

Bitter tastes of twigs we chewed where tangled Dwoodbines twAine

TreeBms held us in on all fourG sides

so tEmhick we could not see G

DI could not see any wrong iCn you, and yEmou saw noGne in me D

DYour arm was brown againsAt the ground, yoGur cheeks part of the sky

Your fingers played with grassy moss, as limberD you did lieA

YourBm stomach moved beneath yGour shirt

and Emyour knees were in the aGir

DYour feet played games withC mountain roEmots as yoGu lay thinkingD there

DBelow us the trees grew cAlumps of trees rGaised families of trees, and they

As proud as we tossed their heads in the wind aDnd flung gooAd seeds away

The Bmsun was hot and the sun Gwas bright

downEm in the valley below G

DWhere people starved and huCngry for lifEme so emptGy come and go D

DThere in the shade and hiAd from the sun wGe free'd our minds and learned

Our greatest reason for being here, our bodies Dmoved and buArned

TherBme on our mountain bed ofG leaves

we lEmearned life's reason whyG

DPeople laugh and love and dCream, they fEmight and Gthey hate to dDie

DThe smell of your hair I Aknow is still thGere, if most of our leaves are blown

Our words still ring in the brush and the treesD where singiAng seeds are sown

YourBm shape and form is dim, Gbut plain

therEme on our mountain bed G

DI see my life was brightestC where you lEmaughed anGd laid your heDad

DI learned the reason why Aman must work anGd how to dream big dreams

To conquer time and space and fight the rivers Dand the seasA

I stBmand here filled with my Gemptiness now

and Emlook at city and land G

DI know why farms and citiesC are built bEmy hot warGm nervous handDs

DI've crossed many states Ajust to stand heGre now, my face all hot with tears

I've crossed city and valley, desert and streamD to bring myA body here

My hBmistory and future blaze Gbright in me

and Emall my joy and pain G

DGo through my head on our mCountain bed Emwhere I sGmell your hairD again

DAll this day long I lingeAr here and on inG through the night

My greeds, my joys, my cravings, hopes, my dreaDms inside meA fight

My lBmoneliness healed, my empGtiness filled

I waEmlk above all pain G

DBack to the breast of my woCman and chilEmd to scatGter my seeds aDgain...

I'm The Man Who Loves You

Key: DCapo 3Hard

Em7

Bm7

D7All I can see is black and white

D7And white and pink with blades of blue

D7That lay between the words I think on a page

D7I was meaning to send to

Em7You I couldn't tell if it'd bring my heart

Em7The way I wanted when I started

Writing this letter to you

A7But if I could you know I would

A7Just hold your hand and you'd understand

Bm7I'm theC man who loves you

D7All I can be is a busy sea

D7Of spinning wheels and hands that feel for

D7Stones to throw and feet that run but

D7Come back home

Em7It made no difference

Em7Ever known, it made no difference

Ever known to me

A7But if I could you know I would

A7Just hold your hand and you'd understand

Bm7I'm theC man who loves you

Heavy Metal Drummer

Key: DHard

D/C

I sincDerely miss those heavy D/Cmetal bands

I Emused to go see on the lAanding in the summer

She Dfell in love with the drummer

She D/Cfell in love with the drummer

She EmfellA in love

Shiny shiny pants and bleached blonde hair

A double kick drum by the river in the summer

She fell in love with the drummer

Another and another

She fell in love

GI miss the innAocence I've knoDwn D/C

GPlaying KISS covers bAeautiful and stoDned

D/CEmA

She lifted up her shirt at the battle of the bands

He twirled his sticks, she helped him to his van

She fell in love with the drummer

She fell in love

I miss the innocence I've known

Playing KISS covers beautiful and stoned

ive seen jeff/wilco play this one live

since i dont have a 12 string

i play it on a six

anyway

the chords listed in relation to capo on fifth fret

actual chords in ( )

ADEAGCDG

ADEAGC

DMosGt oEf tAhe AsonDg is just barre chords, D(5th fret) to C(3rd fret) with your pinky out on the

fourth string on the 7th fret, to a normal barre C, to an A on the fifth fret. Almost the entire song is that chord

progression played differently. When he says, "I miss the innocence I've known" I've heard him play different stuff.

This is what I like to play for that section. I don't think he ever plays it exactly like this but it?s close to several versions

I've heard. And close enough, in my opinion. However, always eager for any additions or corrections.

I sincerely miss those heavy metal bands

I used to go see on the landing in the summer

She fell in love with the drummer

She fell in love

Shiny shiny pants and bleached blonde hair

A double kick drum by the river in the summer

She fell in love with the drummer

Another and another

She fell in love

I miss the innocence I've known

Playing Kiss covers beautiful and stoned

She lifted up her shirt at the battle of the bands

He twirled his sticks, she helped him to his van

She fell in love with the drummer

She fell in love

I miss the innocence I've known

Playing Kiss covers beautiful and stoned
