[Verse 1]
EUp in the mountain glen where the creek rolls by
            G#m*                 Amaj7*
Like a slow train with nowhere to be
EThe leaves on the Aspens dance
               G#m*                 Amaj7*
Weightless and free like nobody’s watching
                E  G#m*    Amaj7*
Nobody but me
[Chorus]
A*                                              E  G#m*
All is not well in this world we’re living in
A*                                                   E  G#m*  Amaj7*
But it all seems so right up here in the mountain glen
[Verse 2]
                                        E  G#m*
Oh let me forget my sorrow if only for a day
                         Amaj7*
Like I’ve got nowhere to be
EI want to sing out what I’ve been holding down
                      G#m*             Amaj7*
Like nobody’s watching me nobody but you
               E  G#m*  Amaj7*
Nobody but you
[Chorus]
A*                                              E  G#m*
All is not well in this world we’re living in
A*                                                     E  G#m*
But it all seems so right up here in the mountain glen
A*                                              E  G#m*
All is not well in this world we’re living in
A*                                                   E  G#m*  Amaj7*
But everything’s alright up here in the mountain glen
[Verse 3]
EI’m sitting on the porch
             G#m*                        Amaj7*
Writing this song and I’ve got nowhere to be
EAnd Ramona’s dancing
                   G#m*                 Amaj7*
She’s dancing next to me like nobody’s watching
                   E  G#m*  Amaj7*
A child so free
                         E  G#m*  Amaj7*
Like a child should be
[Bridge]
A*
There is peace in the slow train creek
                E*          B*
And the Aspens fluttering
A*
There is peace in the evening light
               E*          B*
And in good company
A*
So much peace in a child’s face
                            E*         B*
When she know’s she’s safe and free
A*
I used to know that peace
             E*     B*
But it left me to serve another woman
[Outro]
A*
Now I wait
A*
Return to me
