Mountains To The Sea Song Lyrics And Chords by Mary Black
Mary Black (Shane Howard and Neil Murray) Recorded by Mary and Imelda May. Guitar chords by Angela. When it comes to songs about mountains, the one I think about is The Mountains Of Mourne Song , as most of the folk singers in Ireland have covered it at some point in their career .
(Em) Working coast to coast
(G) Sleeping on a train
(D) Caught between the settled life
And (Am) on the road again
(Em) People often ask me
(G) Where it is I’m from
(D) Find it hard to tell them
So I (Am) say it in a song
(C) Eagle in the mountains
(G) Floating on a breeze
(D) Shark out in the ocean
He’s (Am) happy in the deep
(C) Me I’ve got my own place
It’s (G) good enough for me
(D) You could find me (Am) anywhere
Between the (Em) mountains
and the sea
(Em) Been a lot of places
(G) Done a lot of things
(D) Some of them were so good
Yeah I’d (Am) do those things again
(Em) The town that I was born in
(G) It knows me all too well
(D) I hope they’ll take me back there
When the (Am) keeper rings the bell
(C) Eagle in the mountains
(G) Floating on a breeze
(D) Shark out in the ocean
He’s (Am) happy in the deep
(C) Me I’ve got my own place
It’s (G) good enough for me
(D) You could find me (Am) anywhere
Between the (Em) mountains
and the sea
Some-(Em)-times I stop and wonder
(G) How it came to this
(D) This life of lonely travelling
So (Am) far from civil bliss
(Em) There’s been people on the journey
(G) Some I love so deep
(D) Others took advantage
Oh and (Am) some had no idea
Oh (C) but that eagle in the mountains
(G) Floating on a breeze
(D) Shark out in the ocean
He’s (Am) happy in the deep
(C) Me I’ve got my own place
It’s (G) good enough for me
(D) You could find me (Am) anywhere
Between the (Em) mountains
And the sea
(C) Eagle in the mountains
(G) Rainbow in the sky
(D) Shark out in the ocean
He’s (Am) following the tide
(C) Spirit of this country
I (G) hear it speak to me
(D) When the wind is (Am) calling
Between the (Em) mountains
And the sea
(D) When the wind is (Am) blowing
Between the (Em) mountains
And the sea
(Em) Working coast to coast
(G) Sleeping on a train
(D) Caught between the settled life
And (Am) on the road again
(Em) People often ask me
(G) Where it is I’m from
(D) Find it hard to tell them
So I (Am) say it in a song
(C) Eagle in the mountains
(G) Floating on a breeze
(D) Shark out in the ocean
He’s (Am) happy in the deep
(C) Me I’ve got my own place
It’s (G) good enough for me
