Sweetly flows the water from [A] the mountain, _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
Softly falls the rain [D] upon [A] the leaves,
_ _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ Gently blows the breeze among [D] the cedars, _ _ _ [A] _ _ [Bm] _ _
Quietly [E] my heart is on [A] its knees.
_ How _ _ [E] _ _
could anything in all [A] _ creation _ Be _ _ [E] _ more beautiful [D] than all [A] I see? _
_ _ _ _ _ [C#m] With it all my heart is not [D] _ rejoicing, _ _ _ [A] _ _ [Bm] Because the one [E] I love is not [A] with me. _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] Somewhere in between us was [A] a difference, _ _ _ _ _ [E] Not we or all this beauty [D] could [A] secure. _
_ _ _ _ [C#m] I know now my heart will ache [D] forever, _
_ _ _ [A] And I [Bm] wonder if this [E] mountain can [A] endure. _ _
So _ _ I'm leaving _
_ [D] _ _ for the [A] _ _
flatlands, _ _ Going [D] back _ [A] where I [E] was conceived. _ _
_ _ _ Going [A] back _ where [D] nobody _ knows the [A] difference, _ _ _ _ This [D] mountain [E] knows too much about [A] me. _
I _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ thought it was written up in [A] heaven, _ _ _ _ _ [E] That you would be with me [D] and I [A] with you. _
_ _ _ _ _ [C#m] Sun and moon and stars must feel [D] the difference, _ _ _ [A] _ [Bm] And they're wishing there [E] was something they [A] could do. _
So _ _ I'm _ leaving [D] _ _ for [A] the _ flatlands, _ _ Going [D] back _ [A] where I was [E] conceived. _
_ _ _ Going [A] back where [D] nobody knows [A] the difference, _ _ _ _ [D] This mountain knows [E] too much _ [A] about me.
_ _ _ _ [D] This mountain [E] knows too much [A] about me. _
