Chords for Amos Lee - Mountains Of Sorrow (Live at the Wiltern - 2-21-14)

[Eb] So I'm gonna sing you a [Cm] song about someone who inspired [Gm] me a lot.
We got a chance to play the [G] Ramble with Levon Helm a couple years [Bbm] ago.
It [Db] _ was at a time [Cm] where I was feeling a [G] little bit maybe [A] overwhelmed [Ab] with something or other.
But we [A] got a chance to sit right behind Levon's drums and watch [Ab] him at the Ramble.
And it [Eb] changed me.
It really did.
It was one of those [Ab] moments that I didn't maybe [G] know at the time that was changing me drastically.
[Eb] But it changed me [N] as a performer and as a person.
[Gm] Just to see him get up there [B] and throw his boat.
[Abm] _ [N] _ _ _ [Eb] So every time I take the stage now I think [G] about Levon.
I think about that day.
And even sometimes when I go out the door in the morning I think, come on man, get through it.
You know, get through it.
[Eb] So this one goes [Fm] out to Levon.
It's [Gm] called, Now I'm [Eb] Sober.
I _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ woke from [Cm] [Eb] my dream
_ _ [Cm] Waking by [C] the [Bb] darkness [Ab] of the night
I [Eb] was unprepared to be insane
I _ [Cm] _
[Bb] was prepared [Ab] to fight
[Cm] Oh the rains are bitter
Winds [Bb] are strong
_ [Ab] And these mountains are [Eb] sour and these rivers are soft
I was [Bb] [Eb] unprepared
My mistake
_ To [Cm] _ [Bb] contemplate the cruel winds [Ab] of fate
I [Eb] said wait
Oh [Cm] she carried on
As the mountains are [Bb] sour and [Eb] the rivers are soft
I _ [Ab] faked it _
_ [Bb] _ [Fm] _ [Eb] Faked it
[Cm] In the [Bb] midst of the cold and bitter
[Ab] The memories of me
[Abm] The memories of my
[Eb] In the midst of _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ [Fm] _ _
[Eb] _ _ [Cm] _ [Bb] the cold _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ [Abm] and bitter
The memories of me
In the midst of the cold and bitter
[B]
[Eb] I'm out of luck
[Ab] You [Eb] brought the session to an exit
Later [Cm] _ [Bb] in the day the [Ab] winds are blacking
To [Eb] a good man
Now [Cm] I belong
[Ab] To [Eb] the mountains are sour and the rivers are soft _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Cm] _
[Bb] I _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ [Bb] [Eb] have _ _ [Fm] [Eb] a habit Of _ _ solitude
_ [Cm] _ _
[Bb] I'm a man [Ab] who's quite good
So [Eb] much to
_ [Ab] [Eb] Desire
Oh [Cm] I won't leave [Bb] too much behind [Ab] me
When I go
I'm just [Cm] seeking my fortune
And [Bb] it ain't enough
As [Ab] the mountains are [Bb] sour and the [Eb] rivers are soft
_ Oh these mountains are [Bb] sour and these [Eb] rivers are soft
_ Oh these mountains are [Bb] sour and these rivers
