      [Intro} 
G,C,D,Gm

[Verse 1]
G         C            D    Gm
One, two, three, four, two, zero
G        C                   D    Gm
Let's do another one for the open road
G        C                   D        Gm
It's been crazy getting through last winter, but
G          C                D        
The ocean has been such good company
Gm                         G                  C
And can you feel the earth tilting back and forth
D               G
Back and forth

G G

G       C            D           Gm   
Here I sleep, parked next to the curb
G              C                 D        Gm
In Portland I cringe of growing up in the suburbs
G              C           D          Gm
But I'll wash dishes for a quick cash binge
G           C                      D          Gm
'Til April comes and it's into the wilderness again

C

[Chorus]
     G
Oh, father mountain
C         D                   G
Show your face, where has the movement gone?
         C        D
For our equal race
G          
Oh, father mountain
C      D
Answer me
So be it
C           G
Mountain, I follow thee

[Verse 2]
G       C         D             Gm
Cosmic rays have amplified your face
         G          C
And been revealed to me
D       Gm
In the strangest places
   G         C        D         Gm
I take it as no astrological sign
G              C          D         Gm
And the eighth wonder has read my mind
G                                C
Feel the earth tilting back and forth
D             Gm
Back and forth

G

G   C       D      Gm            G          C
Unity and a common bond will bless this trail
     D      Gm 
And dirt we trod upon
   G          C            D          Gm
I wake to the birds and my bitter back burns
G             C
Smile like you mean it
     D          Gm
And it will be returned

[Chorus]
     G
Oh, father mountain
C         D                   G
Show your face, where has the movement gone?
         C        D
For our equal race
G          
Oh, father mountain
C      D
Answer me
So be it
C           G
Mountain, I follow thee

[Solo]

[Bridge]
Aho man, what kind of power’s in me?
Aho man, can you see it churning?
Aho man, what kind of fire’s in me
Aho man, can you see it burning?
C   D               Gm       G
Aho man, I got some power in me
C   D             G
Aho man, can you see it churning?
C   D                Gm         G
Aho man, I got some fire in me
C   D            G       [N.C.]
Aho man, can you see it burning?
