Caroline Herring - I Went For A Month
CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO:   G    Em    C    D(2x)
I Gwent for a Emmonth into the Gmountains 
And Cbreathed the Gair so Bmfresh and Cclean 
I Gwalked across the Embridge to my Gcabin 
And Csmiling Emfaces Bmwaited Cthere
We Gswam and we Emrode upon the Ghorses 
We Csang and Gdanced in one Bmjoyous Cwheel 
GTetherball and Emfour-square by the Gfountain 
And Cheart-sung Emblessings at Bmevery Cmeal 
I want to Dlive, I want to Grun
CThrough these Gopen fields 
Where there is Dhope, where there is Gjoy 
Where the Cmountains Bmyield 
To our Emprayers and songs for peace on AEarth 
Where we Cnestle in our beds 
And hear the finest Bmsymphony on DEarth 
I Gwent for a Emmonth into the Gmountains 
I aCwoke and Gsaid, "Good Bmmorning, Csun" 
And Gas it rose inEmto the sky we Gcounted 
CAll our Emblessings Bmone by Cone 
I Gacted in the Emplays and ran the Gcourses 
And Cstretched my Gbody Bmwith deClight 
GAll a part of Emthis great group of Glaughter 
That Cstayed unEmtil we Bmsaid goodCnight 
Day is Ddone, gone the Gsun 
From lakes, Chills and Gskies 
And we Dstood around the Gfire 
Warmed by Cembered Bmlight 
Singing Emsongs and prayers for peace on AEarth 
Then we Cnestled in our beds 
And heard the finest Bmsymphony on DEarth 
GWhen my time had ended Emin the Gmountains 
My mother Cdrove me Gdown the Bmwinding Croads 
Weaving Gthrough the tears and Emtowns into the Gflatlands 
And I Cwondered Emwhich I should Bmcall my Chome 
The Gworld has its Emmeanness and vainGglory 
Sometimes CI think GI canBmnot enCdure 
And Gthen I close my Emeyes and feel the Gmountains 
And Chold close Emall of my mem'Bmries Cthere 
Where I could Dlive, where I could Grun
Through the Copen Gfields 
Where there is Dhope, where there is Gjoy 
Where the Cmountains Bmyield 
To our Emprayers and songs for peace on AEarth 
Where we Cnestled in our beds 
And heard the finest Bmsymphony on DEarth

Caroline Herring - I Went For A Month

CAPO: 2nd Fret

G Em C D

INTRO: (2x)

G Em G

I went for a month into the mountains

C G Bm C

And breathed the air so fresh and clean

G Em G

I walked across the bridge to my cabin

C Em Bm C

And smiling faces waited there

G Em G

We swam and we rode upon the horses

C G Bm C

We sang and danced in one joyous wheel

G Em G

Tetherball and four-square by the fountain

C Em Bm C

And heart-sung blessings at every meal

D G

I want to live, I want to run

C G

Through these open fields

D G

Where there is hope, where there is joy

C Bm

Where the mountains yield

Em A

To our prayers and songs for peace on Earth

Where we nestle in our beds

Bm D

And hear the finest symphony on Earth

G Em G

I went for a month into the mountains

C G Bm C

I awoke and said, "Good morning, sun"

G Em G

And as it rose into the sky we counted

C Em Bm C

All our blessings one by one

G Em G

I acted in the plays and ran the courses

C G Bm C

And stretched my body with delight

G Em G

All a part of this great group of laughter

C Em Bm C

That stayed until we said goodnight

D G

Day is done, gone the sun

C G

From lakes, hills and skies

D G

And we stood around the fire

C Bm

Warmed by embered light

Em A

Singing songs and prayers for peace on Earth

Then we nestled in our beds

Bm D

And heard the finest symphony on Earth

G Em G

When my time had ended in the mountains

C G Bm C

My mother drove me down the winding roads

G Em G

Weaving through the tears and towns into the flatlands

C Em Bm C

And I wondered which I should call my home

G Em G

The world has its meanness and vainglory

C G Bm C

Sometimes I think I cannot endure

G Em G

And then I close my eyes and feel the mountains

C Em Bm C

And hold close all of my mem'ries there

D G

Where I could live, where I could run

C G

Through the open fields

D G

Where there is hope, where there is joy

C Bm

Where the mountains yield

Em A

To our prayers and songs for peace on Earth

Where we nestled in our beds

Bm D

And heard the finest symphony on Earth

G Em C D G Em C D G
