INTRO:  C   Bb   C   Bb   C   Bb   Am   Bb   C   Bb   C   Bb   C   Bb   Ab   Bb  C  
High on this mountain, the D7clouds down below
I'm Cfeeling so strong and aD7live
From Cthis rocky perch, I'll conD7tinue to search
For the Cwind and the snow and the D7sky
Oh, BmI want a lover and Em7I want some friends
And BmI want to live in the Emsun
And BmI want to do all the Dmthings that I never have dConeD  C  D  
CSunny bright mornings and D7pale moonlit nights
CKeep me from feeling aD7lone
Now I'm Clearning to fly and this D7freedom is like
CNothing that I've ever D7known
Oh, BmI've seen the bottom and Em7I've been on top
But Bmmostly I've lived in beEmtween
And Bmwhere do you go when Dmyou get to the end of your CdreamD  C  D  C  D  C  D  
COff in the Nether Lands D7I heard the sound
Like the Cbeating of heavenly D7wings
And Cdeep in my brain I can D7hear a refrain
Of my Csoul as she rises and D7sings
BmAnthems to glory and Em7anthems to love
And Bmhymns filled with earthly Emdelight
Like the Bmsongs that the darkness Dmcomposes to worship the Clight
INSTRUMENTAL: 
COnce in a vision I D7came on some woods
And Cstood at a fork in the D7road
My Cchoices were clear yet I D7froze with the fear
Of Cnot knowing which way to D7go
Oh, Bmone road was simple acEm7ceptance of life
The Bmother road offered sweet Empeace
When I Bmmade my decision, my Dmvision became my reCleaseD  C  D  
OUTRO:  Bm   Em   Am   D   C   Bb   C   Bb   C   Bb   Am   Ab   C   G  C
