      Capercaillie - The Crooked Mountain


CAPO: 2nd Fret



[Intro]
C    Dm7    C    F
C    Am  F  C    Am  F  C  G  Am  Em

[Verse 1]
    Am                G
The woman who read my palm today
      F                  C
Was a friend of the pessimistic
     Dm7                   Em
In a square at the edge of town
       F               C
Was my fortune laid to bear


[Verse 2]
           Am               G
She said, "Climb that rocky mountain
          F                C
Where the sun will rise to kiss you
         Dm7                     Em
And your dreams will flow like a virgin spring
       F                   C      Dm7
To the foot of the crooked hill"


[Chorus]
                 Am         Dm7
Feels good to be dreaming
                 C               Dm7
Feels good to be here with you
              Am                G
Wait now, the mist will clear

Wait now, the day will come
   C   Em               Am    F
I'm caught in the rain again
     C   Em              Am     F
I was caught on a snowbound highway
     C   Em             Am      F
I was caught in the rain again
  C                   Am        F
On top of the crooked mountain
  C                   Am        F  Dm7  C  Am  Em
On top of the crooked mountain


[Verse 3]
       Am                  G
Like a fool, I took to the woman's words
        F                C
Being a slave of the optimistic
  Dm7                Em
I left my friends of childhood
        F               C
And the ones who saw me right


[Verse 4]
Am                       G
Funny, you don't see the sunset
        F              C
And you wonder why you missed it
      Dm7            Em
For a year I saw the skies change
     F               C            Bb
'Til all the day was night and ooh


[Chorus]
                 Am         Bb
Feels good to be dreaming
                 C               Bb
Feels good to be here with you
              Am                G
Wait now, the mist will clear

Wait now, the day will come
   C   Em               Am    F
I'm caught in the rain again
     C   Em              Am     F
I was caught on a snowbound highway
     C   Em             Am      F
I was caught in the rain again
  C                   Am        F
On top of the crooked mountain
  C                   Am        F  Am
On top of the crooked mountain


[Bridge]
                 Em        Am
Feels good to be dreaming
                 G              Am
Feels good to be here with you
                C
Feels good to be here
                 Em        Am
Feels good to be dreaming
                 G              Am
Feels good to be here with you
     C
To be here


[Instrumental]
C  G  Am  Em  (4x)


[Verse 5]
         Am              G
With the evening shadows falling
       F                   C
On the day I'm supposed to find you
Dm7                       Em
Chances are I'll never realize
    Am
The picture from this jigsaw
       F
That I always took for granted
        Dm7              Em
Now I'm caught here in a raging storm
   C                        Dm7
On top of the crooked hill


[Chorus]
                 Am         Dm7
Feels good to be dreaming
                 C               Dm7
Feels good to be here with you
              Am                G
Wait now, the mist will clear

Wait now, the day will come
   C   Em               Am    F
I'm caught in the rain again
     C   Em              Am     F
I was caught on a snowbound highway
     C   Em             Am      F
I was caught in the rain again
  C                   Am        F
On top of the crooked mountain
  C
On top


[Outro]
C  G  Am  Em  (4x)
