Jakob Dylan - On up the mountain chords
Start Jamming...
They're old enough [E] to know well the [D] better things are [A] all uphill
[Bm] Bitter songs are never [E] sung in [D] the highlands where you [A] belong
In the smoke [E] cannons below men [D] they bury each [A] other in rows
People [Bm] come people [E] go
[D] Working numbers and leave [E] alone.
[A] There's a line
Making [E]
its way on [D] up the mountain
[A] Night and day
You'll get tired
You'll [E] get weak
But you [D] won't abandon
your [A] masterpiece
Off to sleep [E] you'll go through [D] the halls and [A] open doors
[F#] Silver bells swinging [E] low strung [D] in branches of you [A]
know
soon
[E] Morning comes to warm [D] the world
[A] Wake you up night [Bm] is gone
[A] Awful [E] fast it [D] ain't wrong [E] to be sad.
[A] There's a line
Making [E] its way on [D] up the mountain
[A] Night and day
You go down
You [E] go deep, but [D] you won't surrender

[A] Here it [E]
comes
There [F#m] it goes
The [D]
unbearable [D#] sound [E] of the earth [F] making men out [F#m] of boys
First [G] you learn then [E] you'll teach about that bright bright [A]
light
[E] Making its way on [D] up the mountain
Night [A] and day
You'll get tired
You'll [E] get weak
But you [D] won't abandon

There's a line
Making [E]
its way on [D] up the mountain
