He was [E] born in the summer of [F#m] his [D] 27th [B] year, [E] coming home to a place he'd never [F#m] been before.
.
He left [E] yesterday behind him, [F#m] you might say he was [D] born [B] again, you might [E] say he found a key for every [F#m] door.
.
When [E] he first came to the mountains, [F#m] his life was far [D] away, [B] on [E] the road, hanging [F#m] by a thong.
[E] But the string's already broken, [F#m] and he doesn't really [D] [B] care.

[E] Now he walks in quiet solitude, [F#m] the forests [D] and the [B] streams, [E] grace in every step he [F#m] takes.
.
His [E] sight is turned inside and the [F#m] sound of quiet [D] [B] understands, [E] the serenity of a clear blue mountain [F#m] lake.
