Seven Story Mountain Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

DOh Lord to see a light G

DBut fail in strength to follow

GSometimes it’s hard to lCet it go G D

DOh Lord to fail Gin heart

DEach day grow more hollow

GSometimes I just doCn’t wanna know.G D

GBut the road that led me here D

GHas begun to disappear D

GSometimes I wonder whCere I am. G D

Oh Lord to hear a voice

But let it fade and wallow

Sometimes it’s hard to let it go.

Oh Lord to find the words

But keep them in and swallow

One day the top is gonna blow

(Chorus)

But the road that left me here

Has begun to disappear

Sometimes I wonder who I am.

(drums out)

Oh Lord to stumble by

For years without knowing

Sunrise has burned my eyes again. (drums back in)

Oh Lord to crumble quiet

Watching from the silence

Sunrise has burned my eyes again.

It’s a seven-story mountain

It’s a long-long life we live

Gonna find a light and fill my heart again

It’s a seven story mountain

It’s a long long life ahead

Gotta find a voice and fill my throat again
