[Intro]
C/G Fmaj7 C/G
[Verse]
When GI aC/Gwoke Fmaj7from my C/Gdream
AmAwakened by the Gdarkness of the Fmaj7night
I was unpreC/Gpared to Fmaj7be unC/Gseen
AmI was preGpared to Fmaj7fight
[Chorus]
Oh the rains are Ambitter, the winds are Gstrong
In the mFmaj7ountains of sorrow and the rGivers of C/Gsong
[Verse]
And I was uGnprepC/Gared in my Fmaj7animal sC/Gtate
To cAmontemplate the cGruel winds of Fmaj7fate
And I say a pC/Grayer for those who carry Amon
Past the mC/Gountains of sorrow and the rGivers of C/Gsong
[Bridge]
And I'll faFmaj7de away
I'll fade C/Gaway
In a gAmlass of cGorn liquor
The mFmaj7emories of eatin'
MFmemories of fire, and of C/Gwine
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
One by C/Gone, the prFmaj7ocession pC/Gasses
LAmater in the dGay we'll raise our gFmaj7lasses
To a good C/Gman, now belAmongs
To the mC/Gountains of sorrow and the rGivers of C/Gsong

And I have a cC/Gabin of Fmaj7solitC/Gude
I bAmuilt it with my oGwn hands, it's quiFmaj7te crude
Ain't much C/Gto it, Fmaj7this I C/Gknow
But I Amwon't leave too much bGehind me here Fmaj7when I go
[Chorus]
I"ll be seeking my fAmortunes, carrying Gon
Past the mFmaj7ountains of sorrow and the rGivers of C/Gsong
To the mC/Gountains of sorrow and the rGivers of C/Gsong
Oh, these mC/Gountains of sorrow and these rGivers of C/Gsong
