[A] _ [Bm] _ [A] _ [Bm] _ _ [Em] _ [Bm] _ _
_ [A] _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ [Bm] _ _ [A] _ [Bm] _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ [Bm] _ _ I guess I'll never [Em] have.
I'll be working for somebody else.
Till I'm in my [F#m] grave.
I'll be [Em] dreaming of a life of [B] ease [A] and mountains,
[B] Oh, [A] mountains [Bm] of [Bm] thanks. _
_ _ _ _ To have a big expensive car,
Dragging my purse on the ground.
[Em] Help me, I can tell, to bring me anything.
_ Everyone [G] will look at me with envy and with [F#m] greed.
I'll revel in their attention,
[G] And [Bm] mountains, [A] oh, [Bm] mountains of [A] thanks.
[Bm] _ [E] _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _
Sweet lazy life, champagne and caviar.
_ [Em]
Hope you come and find me,
You know who we [F#m] are.
[G]
Those who deserve the [F#m] best in [G] life,
Know what a money's worth.
[F#m]
Those who sow misfortunes,
Having [G] [B] mountains [A] on earth,
[E] I hang [Bm] at birth.
_ _ _ _ Oh, they tell me,
It's still time to save my soul.
They tell me, _ _ _ _
_ Renounce all,
Renounce all those material things you gained by
_ Exploiting other human beings. _ _ _ _ _ _
You'll consume more than you need.
This is a dream,
[Em] To make you papa,
Or make you queen.
[F#m] _ [G] I won't die alone, I have it all prearranged.
[F#m] A grave that's deep and wide enough
[G] For me and [Bm] all [A] my [Bm] mountains of thanks. _ _ _ _
Oh, they tell me,
It's [Em] still [Bm] time to save my soul.
They tell me, _ _ _
_ _ Renounce all,
_ Renounce all those material things you gained by _
Exploiting other [F#m] human [Bm] beings. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F#m] _ _ Mostly [G] I belong [Bm] only
To _ _ _
_ _ _ [F#m] good, good people,
Good people are,
[G] Good [Bm] people are only
My stepping stone.
_ [F#m] _ It's gonna take [G] all of my mountains of [Bm] thanks
To surround me. _
_ _ _ [F#m] _ Keep all [G] my enemies [F#m] away.
_ Keep my sadness [G] and loneliness at [Bm] bay.
_ The _ _ _ _ _ life I've always wanted,
I guess I'll never have.
[Em] I'll be working for somebody else
Until I'm in my grave.
I'll be [G] dreaming [Bm] of [G] a life of [F#m] ease
In mountains, oh mountains [Bm] of thanks. _ _ _
_ _ _ The life I've always wanted,
I guess I'll never have.
[Em] I'll be working for somebody else
Until [E] I'm in my grave.
I'll be [Em] dreaming of a life of [F#m] ease
In mountains, oh [Bm] mountains of thanks. _ _ _
_ _ I'll [G] be dreaming, dreaming,
Dreaming, [F#m] dreaming, dreaming, _ [E] dreamer,
[Bm] _ _ _ _
Dreamer.
I'll be [G] dreaming, dreaming,
[F#m] Dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, _ [Bm] dreamer, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ of dreaming _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
