[Gm] [G]
When I'm walking alone in the night I see the green coyote [D] in the [F] distance, strolling
in [C] the desert alone, in [G] the boomerang action of the noon day, it follows [D] hills and I wonder,
[G] thunder in the lightning [C] falls [G] through a birch tree.
[C] Maybe someone saw me in the forest last [G] Wednesday night, I don't know.
I visit all [C] the deadwood and I try not [G] to be seen in the green, cause [D] I'm a mountain
jumper when [G] I ride the night, I'm a [D] mountain jumper when I [G] ride the night.
I look at the bones, purplish tones across the valley, [D] fainted by the sagebrush, [C] dry
as stilt and buried away before [G] the falling stars.
On a rock edge, hanging off a steep ledge, I climb on down [D] into an oak tree, [C] rolling
in its twisted limbs, a foot above the [G] ground.
[C] Running from a rolling, every tumbleweed down [G] a hill, I'm moving.
[C] Sliding on the gravel, a traveling [G] avalanche is on the slope, in the plain.
[D] Cause I'm a mountain jumper when I [G] ride the night, [D] I'm a mountain jumper [Gm] when I ride [G] the night.

On the high ground, shaking by a low cellar desert looming in the distance, [Gm] looking at
the sunlight [G] dying through the blackened ridge.
Water out of nowhere, flying through the air, see the tidal [D] wave that I'm under.
[Cm] Holding in my breath, I sink into the [G] desert sea, [C] swimming through the turning and turning
into the [G] afternoon sun up above.
Floating [C] river canyon, the bent-up my [G] head and eating all the rocks on the plain.
Cause [D] I'm a mountain jumper [G] when I ride the night, [D] I'm a mountain jumper [G] when I ride the night.
