EmShe was always walking singing to her footsteps
AmDirt ditch paths and Empine cones
AmDigging up glass Embottles
EmRusty springs from feather beds
EmOld hubcaps on the picket fence
She Amplanted beds of Emflowers
AmStayed outside for Emhours  
Chorus : 
In Cspirit she's drEmifted to the oAmcean
ACll those years of wEmaiting for the Amwater
She's waCtching long sEmhadows caught Amin the tide
But the sCunset by the Emsea is in her Ammind
The Csunset by the Emsea is in her Ammind 
EmAnd she was always hoping to someday leave the mountain
DomeAmstic chores and chEmildren
The Amdarkness of the Emwinter
EmPainting all these mermaids
EmWandering to the sea shore
She wAmanted him to Emfollow but his Amheart is with the Emhillside
Repet Chorus. 
EmThese days you'll find her walking
EmSinging to the deep sea
But Amshe will always Emlove him
AmLost up in the Emmountains
EmThe sun set in the ocean
EmGathering shells and beach glass
AmDancing with the Emrogue waves
AmGives her peace of Emmind
But Amshe will always Emlove him
AmLost up in the Emmountain
Oh Amshe will always Emlove him
AmLost up in the Emmountain

She was always walking singing to her footsteps

Am Em

Dirt ditch paths and pine cones

Am Em

Digging up glass bottles

Rusty springs from feather beds

Old hubcaps on the picket fence

Am Em

She planted beds of flowers

Am Em

Stayed outside for hours

Chorus :

C Em Am

In spirit she's drifted to the ocean

C Em Am

All those years of waiting for the water

C Em Am

She's watching long shadows caught in the tide

C Em Am

But the sunset by the sea is in her mind

C Em Am

The sunset by the sea is in her mind

And she was always hoping to someday leave the mountain

Am Em

Domestic chores and children

Am Em

The darkness of the winter

Painting all these mermaids

Wandering to the sea shore

Am Em Am Em

She wanted him to follow but his heart is with the hillside

Repet Chorus.

These days you'll find her walking

Singing to the deep sea

Am Em

But she will always love him

Am Em

Lost up in the mountains

The sun set in the ocean

Gathering shells and beach glass

Am Em

Dancing with the rogue waves

Am Em

Gives her peace of mind

Am Em

But she will always love him

Am Em

Lost up in the mountain

Am Em

Oh she will always love him

Am Em

Lost up in the mountain
